Deaths per day are based on a yearly average. Saying 8600 die every day from the virus because there was a drastic high point doesn't mean much. Otherwise the total deaths right now would be double or more than what they are. At the moment, deaths are about 450 per day. Which makes sense, since COVID-19's mortality rate is lower than seasonal flu.
