Resolved
YESTime-adjusted clone of https://manifold.markets/noumena/covid19-pandemic-will-the-united-st to see how people's credences change.
Data for this question is drawn from the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/us/covid-cases.html), which uses figures reported by federal and state agencies. As of May 3, 2022, the current official death count is 992,424, and the daily death rate is 331, with a 14-day change of -22%.

Current total 996,256, which is much higher than would be expected (about 993,700) if NYT's claimed 7-day average death rate was correct. Not sure what's causing the discrepancy.
