This is why I like the Worldometer tracker best. They actually put the positives and deaths where they belong, when they actually happened.
Wednesday 8/25 at 1386 is the highest death total so far on the Delta surge. Though I expect that to rise as more people who are sick now die.
An interesting personal anecdote, a gal that works for me 23 yr old brother in law nearly went on a ventilator a couple days ago. They already had him on steroids, but as a last ditch thing before intubating him, they hit him with a "massive" steroid dose, and he's been dramatically better since. This kid was in good shape relatively, and when he headed to the hospital, his extremities were turning grey and his lips blue from lack of oxygen.
