When you compare waves, the last wave had about 75% of the deaths of the first wave but 300% of the cases in the US. Many people felt it was less severe because fewer people who got COVID were dying from it, but in reality so many more were getting it that the deaths were almost as high.
It's clear the vaccines help by tamping down the number of deaths, but the fact that we are so far from any kind of herd immunity and unlikely to get their anytime soon means that I'd predict we keep seeing a fairly high number of deaths.
On the good news front, it seems the April wave has hit other places harder than us, so something may be working there.
