Ralph, the normal deaths in the population is 16.4 per 100,000 per week.
The present death rate is 16.7. It is a complicated measurement since so
many people are presently dying because of auto deaths, suicides, delayed
surgeries and a sudden increase in deaths from alcoholism.
Some units or additional context in your first posting would have been
nice.
The important thing is that I GAVE you the rates of deaths and during this so-called "Crisis" that additional deaths are only 1,500 or so and not 80,000+.
This illness is hardly worse that a bad cold and while they are screaming "KEEP THE SHUTDOWN" infections and deaths are dropping.
It is a false report that "infections are increasing" because all that means is that more testing is being accomplished and hence more positives are showing up.
Now remember what I said about this being pure bull**** from the CDC and then look at this chart from John's Hopkins school of medicine

The other countries on this map have no political points to make and so this misreporting of new cases or deaths due to the Wuhan Virus isn't necessary.
