As it currently goes, I think 200,000 will be reached by the end of the year, maybe even before the election.

A mix of early reopenings and disregard for personal safety measures have prompted researchers to increase their projections of Covid-19 deaths this summer.
One model cited by the White House now predicts 200,000 US deaths from coronavirus by October 1 -- an increase of 30,000 deaths since last week's projection by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.

But I don't think it will change the outcome of the National election November 3rd add the regular flu deaths of 64,000 and the drug overdose deaths of 70,000 and you have one big number that doesn't even include car wrecks and cancer and homicides.
