Take a look at https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus This chart in particular: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-deaths-covid-19?country=USA+OWID_WRL https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-deaths-covid-19?cou... It's showing a doubling of daily confirmed deaths since last week. This is a lagging statistic, of course, but it's one of the more firm ones. The total confirmed deaths can be seen here: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-deaths-covid-19?country=OWID_WRL+USA https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-deaths-covid-19?cou... To put this into perspective, we're about halfway to the 23,000 flu deaths in the US for the entire flu season this year. At the current rate, though, we'll be past that by next week. For more perspective, the 1957 Asian Flu killed about 70,000 people in the US (1 - 2 million worldwide), and our population at that time was 177 million (about half of today). According to this chart: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-confirmed-daily-deaths-epidemiological-trajectory https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-confirmed-daily-dea... we may be just at the start of bending the curve. We're a much larger country than some of the others shown in our group (add Italy, France, UK, Spain, and Germany, and we still have more people). EDIT: According to: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/1957-1958-pandemic.html https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/1957-1958-pandemi... The number of deaths for the 1957 Asian Flu in the US was 116,000, at a time when we had half the population of today.
