US daily Covid deaths trend

[Loki]

In the last 90 days the seven day moving average for daily covid deaths has declined by 80%

80%!

From 1901 to 390.

It's still sad that 390 a day is considered improvement. Shows the scale of the disaster.

It’s just a head cold until it isn’t.

There are 2,353 deaths from CVD each day (2017 stats).

The weird thing? Hospitalizations fell drastically in Mid-January. From 128K on January 14th, the numbers started dropping over 1000 a day every day over 2 weeks and then by February 1st, the numbers started dropping by over 2000 per day. There were fewer than 2 million vaccinated by that point, and almost all were seniors. It really drives home how targeted this disease was for the elderly.

To your point:

80% of deaths over age 65
5% of deaths under age 50
One half of one percent under age 30

I'd like to see some figures for population density vs. mortality.

Normalized against the number of cases for each segment?
