I wanted to find deaths/week going back years (without 'cause' assigned, because that's fudgible)

But this is the best I could find (includes influenza/pneumonia/COVID only (no cold, etc.)) : https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/07172020/nchs-mortality-report.html

Would love to see your sources.

I think it's just a weird plot. There is a note below it that says it's not all deaths. It probably takes weeks to issue and then process the death certificates or something. JHU probably uses faster estimates.

Very strange plot. My source uses John Hopkins data: http://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/

The US is holding steady at 3 deaths per day per million, according to them.

So, somebody's lying. My guess is that the CDC f'ed up, as usual.

You could argue that their genetics, immune systems, etc. aren't representative.

But their COVID death rate agrees with excess deaths: https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps

Sweden had 20% antibody rate back in April. By now, ~60% or so should have had the infection (with or without symptoms). Their pandemic is over now: 0 deaths per day with no masks or lockdowns.

In fairness, that was in vitro (test tube) and for a different (but similar) virus, so it's reasonable to be skeptical (of that particular link)

However, there is a ton of studies now that show HCQ is very effective (my submission history is mostly about that)

The submitted link goes directly to early treatment results. Less confusing.

As Dr. Risch (Yale epidemiologist) says, the FDA approves 4 completely new drugs per year without any randomized controlled trials (too hard to do for some diseases).

But apparently, now is the right time to wait a year for a randomized controlled trial of a drug no one can profit from (because "it's the gold standard").
