2,800 Covid deaths in one day?

Where does Worldometer get its data?

According to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), the weekly Covid death toll has been below 10,000 (less than 1,500 deaths per day) for the last fifteen weeks.

NCHS is the final word on cause of death in the USA. Almost 100% of USA death certificates are filed electronically with NCHS within one month of an actual death.

Worldometer has been claiming 2,000 to 3,000 Covid deaths per day for almost two months, which is almost 2X times higher than NCHS.

Thank you for adding this data point to the discussion.

Taking the lower Worldometer estimate which you cite above, if 2,000 a day was the rate, then the yearly count would been 730,000. When the "data" are found to be estimates and assertions, then the "data" collection and reporting is all the more sullied.
