Here’s what the historical trend looks like. Past numbers were deduced by taking difference between cumulative numbers reported every Friday.

For context, there were 30 Covid-19 deaths in the 12 months since the start of the pandemic, just before the onset of mass vaccinations (Feb 13th, 2021), which more than doubled to 63 deaths as of Feb 14th, 2022 when about 95% of the 12+ population were fully vaccinated, and close to 50% were boosted. Since then, deaths have skyrocketed, going up 20 fold, with another 1,252 Covid-19 deaths taking place in just a span of about 4 months.
