This is where I got my numbers from. I saved the whole page as a PDF, copied all the number from the PDF into a spreadsheet. Their number are daily and the death totals are cumulative.
To get the weekly numbers are you have to do is add up to seven days of each week and I totaled each on Sundays and then compressed the Sunday weekly total to a second spreadsheet.
It doesn’t make sense to compare daily numbers because there’s too much variation from day to day, probably due to reporting issues, etc.
Anyhow if you know how to work with spreadsheets and you can do subtraction and division it’s not so difficult to come up with these actual weekly death count numbers. My question is why hasn’t anyone in the mass media done this? Hmm
Good luck.
Ermagherd! Thank you so much, Fam! (hugs) And I have zero issue with spreadsheet math, or any math for that matter! (gives a sideways glance at his slide rule)
As to your question...I'm going to assume it's more based in rhetoric than anything else. ^_^
Ok, well if you redo what I did and find any errors in logic or typos, let me know.
Oh how you forget... remember the "Learn to code" when the MSM let all those people go?
Obvious no STEM skills in the bunch.
Here's a nice visual to go along with the numbers.

Nice chart! Higher res version here: https://i.imgur.com/fBLaej8.jpg
The source is twitter.
I’m gonna disagree with that. That is the kind of visual that the mass media wants to show us. Everything getting bigger and scarier. I’m focused on one thing, “How many people died last week”? If the number of dead are fewer and fewer, that means whatever we’re doing is working.
Also, This virus, naturally overtime, has gotten weaker due to evolution. Strong viral strains that kill their victims too quickly, don’t get transmitted.
Finally, doctors are getting better at treating this disease.
It only makes sense that death numbers are going to fall week after week.
I don't know why you'd disagree. That graph shows it losing strength and prevalence.
It shows, since mid-late April, hospitalizations are falling and continue to fall. And it shows a "new case" flatline, despite testing exponentially more.
If we had an honest media, they'd celebrate that this virus is showing a decline in severity and prevalence (when new cases fail to correlate in any way with the testing increases).
OK I zoomed in close enough to see that the green hospitalized line was going down but the daily numbers are too much information, too much detail in there for dummies like me. I’m not gonna take much away from a chart like that. That’s why I did that week by week analysis to smooth out daily fluctuations and give you a few numbers to look at. The nine week in a row falling death rate trend in blue is very clear to most people, I hope.
In the end, The only number that matters is how many people die from this thing.
