COVID-19 Cases & Deaths - Every Seven Days

In each of the last three weeks, about 15,000 Americans have died from COVID-19, with about 200,000 new cases being reported every seven days.

A while back, the White House Task Force revised their first estimate of 200,000-240,000 deaths down to about 60,000. That was a bizarre decision. Even without an increase in expected cases because of the many crowded public gatherings in several states, the US death toll should pass 100,000 in about three weeks.
