Cold Covid - part the twentieth, version 5

Well, we get a testable prediction from the CDC
An ensemble forecast from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published Wednesday predicts that over 62,000 more people could die from Covid-19 over the next four weeks.
Let's keep track from week to week. Here's the count as of 12 January
842,754
Here's the count as of today, 19 January
857,672
Here's the count as of today, 26 January
874,002
Here's the count as of today, 2 February (Groundhog Day, of course)
891,485
Here's the count as of today, 9 February
911,740
So, an increase of 68,986 deaths since 12 January. Jackpot!! And, keep in mind that we've not yet worked through the record (nearly 4 times) hospitalizations. More yet to come.
