Why do you all have such a high average weekly death toll?

That's DAILY and we got over 1 million in metro area.

Deaths/Mortality

(Data are for U.S. in 2002)

Number of deaths: 2,443,387

Death rate: 845.3 deaths per 100,000 population

8453 per million / 365 days = 23+ daily

New Orleans would have had a lot of deaths even if the hurricane had stopped and fizzled out in Havana!!!!
