I think that the death rate stays intake in the best case scenario. It could be higher than the Delta rate though, we don't know yet. But you know, I have no reasons to believe that we are so lucky, and even importantly, we deserve the best case scenario. US is crazy. Courts all over the country halt COVID protections measures. Republicans in the house don't want to prevent the government shutdown because of the vaccine mandates for private sector. Anti-vaxx rhetoric is stronger than ever before. So, people continue to die because dysfunctional government can't get their sh*t together. One party goes all-in with cultural war, conspiracy theories and sabotages everything. The other party is so weak that they can't execute the agenda of their own president.
