I would like to know how many deaths there are in Delaware in a week and also Md. to get a good comparison . What is normal as a death rate without the corona virus affecting the numbers . I,m sure these numbers are way out of proportion . How the hell do we know what these people died from .

By the way , people say "passed Away" , They died , what's wrong with the fact that they died . Political correct way to say died " passed away". Don't want to upset anybody .

I've only seen NYC stats and compared to the average of the last 5 years, total weekly deaths from any cause are 300% greater this year. Same site had European comparisons that averaged 50% higher than average of last 5 years. They are working on getting more US data as they definitely see big regional variability in the European numbers (city hot spots have the greatest % change, rural areas not so much but still higher than average).
