Talking averages here, you're suggesting there are some 750-1000 pneumonia-related deaths from 9 weeks ago that are yet to be reported. Again, that's to get to an "average" level from the historical CDC data. Why haven't these deaths been reported? Visually it doesn't look like those curves are "updated" with new counts 9-weeks out.

Certainly this is possible, but it is certainly suspect, especially when you google "united states covid deaths" and you get answers suggesting some 65,000 deaths.

This CDC page suggests that there are only 37,000 COVID deaths with 64,000 being pneumonia.

This is not a repost this is a fact check.

This is correct - usually we get graphs with “finalized data” but for death rate data like this - the last few weeks always looks like this. Next week they will revise up data from the most recent few weeks (like they always do for every cause of death)

The dip in all the cases is because of the summer not because of a delay in reporting. Not sure who the dumb fuck is that you linked to.

The numbers should taper, not fall off a cliff. Look at the bottom red line.
