This is why I estimated OMR for this year SO FAR (and made that clear).
Influenza this season so far CDC estimate=62000 Population=333456000 OMR=0.019%
It’s also been theorized that the coronavirus took a bunch of sick and elderly people who were most likely going to die in 2020 anyway and compressed those deaths into the timespan of a few weeks.
If correct we should see a drop in the overall death rate later in the year.
Time will tell.
