Later, 7:55 p.m. See first comment. I am wrong. Deaths are maintaining pace, and will likely continue to be a challenge. I was simply eyeballing the graphs and not doing the math. A big thanks to the reader.

For the US, North Dakota's ranking for deaths/capita remains unchanged at #8. South Dakota has jumped from #23 to #11 over the past week or so. Link here. Note: ND has now exceeded 10% penetration -- great for herd immunity. One wonders if 33% penetration is adequate for herd immunity for this virus? South Dakota's penetration: 8.3%. Getting there.
Worldwide, the second wave is so much worse than the first. But deaths lagging. Link here. These graphics are for Sweden but these are pretty much what the rest of the world looks like right now. If we're moving toward herd immunity, Regeneron therapy, and vaccine availability, could we be seeing light at the end of the proverbial tunnel?
