Exponential Death
I’ve been doing graphs of infection rates but I haven’t dealt with the deaths. But with the milestone of 100K deaths, I was curious as to how the rate of death increased over time. After digging up those numbers that I have collected for the US but never used, I find the numbers are rather stunning.
So, here’s the story they tell:
The coronavirus is NOT “just a typical flu”: according to the CDC site, the US averaged 12,000 to 61,000 deaths per year from the flu during the time period 2010 to 2019. This virus is way more serious.
Please listen to the doctors.

Again, due to the changes in either WordPress Gutenberg editor or to the theme or to the document plug in, you can’t see the file onscreen – you can only download the file, or you should be able to download.
