Did you miss the part where this comparison is based on an estimate of 220,000 eventual deaths from covid 19? Not the 149000 we have as of today?

As far as "far from over", nobody knows for sure. It may burn out and go away or it may come back as an endemic type virus. I am working on a post discussing this. Nobody knows for sure.
