Over 8,000 people in the US, on average, die every day in past years. How many are dying today everyday?

Your question is how many excess deaths are there. In bad flu years about 1000 excess deaths a day. With the "COVID" deaths there are claiming a peak somewhat above 2000 deaths a day, now dropping. The statistics for all deaths lag, because of slow reporting. Note that the "COVID" deaths are being reported separately, with no lag.

Here are the real reports: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm Note that there is lag. So for the last few weeks of data, all deaths including "COVID" deaths are underreported. But for earlier in April, the statistics are fairly complete. What is shown is up to 131% of expected deaths. That's excess deaths in the range of three times a bad flu year. But remember that's when deaths peaked and there were certainly a lot of somewhat premature deaths in places like NYC.

The true effect of the virus this year will be known early next year when we see the deaths for all of 2020. That will show how many deaths were just shifted a little earlier and how many were truly excess deaths.

Excess?

I think we still get just one per person.

We ALL gonna die from something!

Look how many are claimed to croak from second hand smoke - why aren't we in lockdown over THOSE numbers?


Secondhand smoke causes approximately 7,330 deaths from lung cancer and 33,950 deaths from heart disease each year. Between 1964 and 2014, 2.5 million people died from exposure to secondhand smoke, according to the 2014 report from the U.S. Surgeon General.
