My personal opinion we will be right around 24,000.  New cases will actually be down as I suspect  people at that point will either not get tested because of fear, denial or just the holidays until they absolutely have too.

So just a little macabre humor as that?s all that?s left as we roll into Halloween, Thanksgiving and a Christmas with plenty of people in pandemic burnout, denial and just not willing to change their plans.
