~500 total. Still a far cry from business as usual flu @ 200/day.

That isn't a chart. Or even a reference. :(

Where are you getting these numbers?

There are several MSM sites reporting the death toll of US corona victims and they hover around 500 total at the moment. Note that they're very liberally grouping deaths into the corona bucket so I expect the number to be much lower in a post mortem. It's going to be like Trump's 2016 win where everyone was left scratching their heads and wondering how their math/fake science failed them.

My flu death rate of 200/day comes from the CDC's last year figure of 34000 / 6 months (a really stretched flu season).

Thanks for referencing the cdc numbers. Google quickly confirmed that, and is what I was asking for. I hoped to have it per month, but don't see that immediately.

Any chance you know where to find this for other countries?
