7500 per day is roughly the death rate of the country as a whole. We're less than 4 doubling periods from that.

  I'd like to see what the current daily number of deaths is for US. UK has a good current weekly tally. Can't find anything similar for US. It would be helpful to determine the amount of overlap. That is, there has been a precipitous drop in pneumonia deaths since January. (That stat is tallied at CDC on a weekly basis.) how many of those have been recatagorized as covid deaths?

    This is what I use: https://www.bing.com/covid/local/unitedstates https://www.bing.com/covid/local/unitedstates As of now (4/4, 4pm EST) I can see 1376 fatalities in the last day, and a total of 8283.

      No, I mean daily US deaths from ALL causes.

        It's roughly 7500 daily in the US. another way is the Ave global CDR calculated at the mid point of the year. 1.8% Birth 0.8% Death ~360M * 0.008

    The drop in pneumonia deaths is largely because flu season is ending. Before COVID, flu was one of the leading causes of pneumonia, and pneumonia deaths typically trend alongside flu season.

      Data cones before analysis... I'd like to see the increase (If any) of actual deaths in US on a week by week basis. Just looking for a good source of that number... If it exists.
