Re: "3,545 in the last 7 days per Worldometer. Up 35%."

The real time death numbers from Worldometer and the Johns Hopkins website are estimates.

My numbers come from lawfully required U.S. Standard Certificates of Death.

Those Certificates are filed electronically with the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), which is administered by the CDC.

NCHS receives 95% of its COVID death certificates within one month, so there is always some lag in the real time NCHS numbers.

However, the NCHS total COVID death number - 605,600 - is almost identical to the Johns Hopkins estimated number, which is 618,000.

You can view the NCHS numbers by following these unfortunately complicated steps...

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm

(1) Scroll 60% of the way down the page to National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Mortality Surveillance

(2) Locate the Pneumonia, Influenza, COVID-19 chart below that title.

(3) Click on that chart. New page opens. On the right hand side of that new page is the same chart. Roll your cursor over the new chart for weekly numbers.

(4) Also - you can click on View Chart Data below the chart on the FIRST PAGE. The data appears in an Excel spreadsheet on my computer.
