Excess Deaths

A good verification of the COVID related deaths comes from comparing the baseline of deaths to those currently, as shown in a graph with a clearly visible trend, from the CDC -

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

Counting the number above the baseline yields the total number of deaths due to COVID. Period.

AS of 5/4/20 - this graph matches the current reported 70k total deaths in the USA. (couning the bars above baseline: about 24+18+18+10 is 70)

Side by Side Comparison

• Different sources claim different things: This doctor in Canada says death rate is 1/300,000 in his province and says it's the greatest hoax [6]
• This one [7] says 600k deaths so far in the USA - or 2/1000 and 600/300,000. How do we explain the 300x difference?
