STAGGERING: New CDC Data Suggests True Coronavirus Death Toll is Now Near 400,000 - Mediaite

But according to an analysis of CDC data on “excess deaths related to COVID-19,” the true death toll is at least 100,000 more.

The data show how the coronavirus pandemic, which is peaking in many states, is bringing with it unusual patterns of death, higher than the official totals of deaths that have been directly linked to the virus.

During the period that NYT analyzed against the CDC data, the official confirmed death toll from the coronavirus was 246,206.

Even using just the raw number of excess deaths in the CDC data would place the true current death toll at over 372,000, but it’s certain that deaths continued to be undercounted.
