BullCrap right from the get-go. This link, with its very elegant color scheme and formatting, says Covid deaths are 13,130. The actual number of US Covid19 deaths is more than 40,000.
I just wonder what the agenda is for someone to spend so much time devising websites and presentations of information which is obviously garbage. Paid by the Chinese Communist Party I suspect.

Rather, that data, but not the color scheme and formatting, is right from the CDC (did you click on the linked Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)?), and it is not my fault what it says. It is the Pneumonia Deaths that are over 40,000, which pneumonia death counts exclude pneumonia deaths involving influenza.

You are apparently comparing the CDC data with the likes of worldometers, which states (but few know), "Because national aggregates often lag behind the regional and local health departments' data, part of our work consists in monitoring thousands of daily reports released by local authorities." "Total Cases = reported total cumulative count of detected and laboratory (and sometimes, depending on the country reporting them and the criteria adopted at the time, also clinically) confirmed positive and sometimes - depending on the country reporting standards - also presumptive, suspect, or probable cases of detected infection. Because it represents a cumulative count (rather than a snapshot of the number of current cases at any given time), this number can't decrease. The size of the gap between detected (whether confirmed, suspect or probable) and reported cases versus actual cases will depend on the number of tests performed and on the country's transparency in reporting."

As for the CDC, the source page I linked to states,

Note: Provisional death counts are based on death certificate data received and coded by the National Center for Health Statistics as of April 17, 2020. Death counts are delayed and may differ from other published sources (see Technical Notes). Counts will be updated periodically. Additional information will be added to this site as available.
