I see the spike starting at June 14th and there is already a slight bump. The graph above shows bump from the previous week if you look at the bars. The line doesn't look like it because it is the 7 day average and the increase in deaths is less than a week, it looks like it just needs one more day above the previous week and it will tick up.

The world punishes you for valuing learning. I have 15 years experience and when I was looking for a job a few years ago, they would ask me what my college GPA was. I took harder classes about challenging subjects that interested me. My GPA wasn't bad, but I could have taken easy classes and have a 4.0 or cheated and got a 4.0.

I would expect that the deaths would lag behind the current increase in daily cases by 2 to 3 weeks. The increase in daily cases started around June 14th and on your graph there is a slight bump in deaths from the previous week. Next week should be even higher. I wouldn't expect that deaths to reach maximum per day even though cases per day is highest because we should be better at treating it.

My prediction: Task force will arrest groups that form to protect statues as "White supremacists" and arresting someone posting on 4chan after they coerce them into threatening violence.

Read the Unibomber manifesto, it goes back to at least the early 90s.
