What a fascinating chart. I think the first wave in the springtime killed a lot of vulnerable populations in nursing homes and assisted living. I'm surprised the "third" wave we are currently experiencing hasn't led to more excessive mortality, but I think we will be seeing that data spike once this chart gets updated in a few weeks.
Suffice to say, if we had been more responsive, more cooperative, and more on top of our response earlier in the year, many thousands of lives could've been saved.
