Does anyone have any good answers for why this number hasn't changed that much in the last 6 to 12 months?

Maybe I'm just totally wrong but it seems like 6 months ago or maybe a year ago I remember the death count was about 25,000. Wouldn't it likely be higher by now? Maybe this is because it's easier to track the desk if they occur almost immediately after vaccination or because they're joking the numbers which we obviously already know they're doing ...

It just seems I've seen this same number approximately stay at ~28,000 for longer than it took for the number to go from 0 to ~28,000 in the first place.

This billboard is awesome though!
