If these numbers are close, about 84 million people are somewhat immune.
That's about 25% of the US population. When only about 8% of the population have had reported cases.
I'm not saying this is the case but it is possible that this is why cases are down.
As far as deaths most people that die from Covid do not die immediately so we will continue to see deaths after everyone is vaccinated and the threat is gone.

Keep in mind it has been reported that natural immunity only lasts about 3 months. I'm not sure how that figures into your stats but there is that.
