We'll see what the number end up, covid has spread since the beginning of this year, highly unlikely that in next 2 weeks suddenly the death jump significantly.

Also keep in mind that the excess death may or may not be due to covid alone.

Is it? Cases have been spiking but deaths are going in the other direction or are flat lining. There is usually an increase in deaths about a month after covid cases go up.

Even conservative modelling predicts a lot more deaths (+50%) and less conservative models see a doubling or more.
