I would like to see the number of all deaths in the US no mater the cause for April 2019 vs April 2020. I think this would give a more accurate picture of what impact Covid-19 has had.
52,000 deaths above average in the USA according to the Financial Times data set. Others might quibble with the numbers but I would imagine the FT numbers are pretty good. In Oregon we're about 2% above average. On an average day in Oregon the death rate was around 100 people per day. Now it is running around 102 people per day. So not a very large increase in Oregon. NY had a big jump up from average deaths but other states have had zero impact to their average daily death rates.
