Looking at the CDC about 1 million Americans would have died over the last four months (in a normal year), wouldn't that give an error of around 14k or am I misunderstanding your formula? I stated a few months, but actually I think the relevant timescale would be the average time that a given person has covid before dying (I'm getting conflicting numbers on this from googling, but it seems to be on the order of a few weeks?), at least assuming they're not being recorded as covid deaths if they test positive, recover, and then die of something else a month or two later. --- Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ! <cite>LordoftheMorons posted [p:942114643] in Coronaviru...
