The CDC released updated numbers yesterday that show that the total presumed deaths related to the coronavirus “only” stand at 38,000. Their reporting also shows the the number of coronavirus deaths peaked in the US a month ago.
We reported previously that the media is reporting massive death counts from the China coronavirus. These counts are coming from a couple of sources, one of which is the Worldometer coronavirus website. We now know that the worldometer is owned by Chinese company Dadax.
As of May 4, 2020, the CDC reported that 38,576 Americans died from the China coronavirus. Note that their number includes confirmed or presumed to be COVID-19 deaths. Note also that the peak number of deaths occurred the week ending April 11, 2020. In addition, according to the CDC, there were only seven deaths confirmed or assumed to be COVID-19 through the end of February 2020.
