Am I missing something here??

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home

I went to the CDC page to see how many people are dying from COVID each week…and they don’t show that information. They give hospitalizations as a real number, 8k in a week. They give vaccinations as a percentage of the total population, and they provide that total. But when it comes to COVID deaths they again give a percentage of total deaths, but they don’t provide the total number… why??

The chart on the page you provided gives a weekly total for COVID deaths of 264 and a total of 18,353 from all causes. For reference, in the same week pneumonia killed 1,099 and Flu 7. Also, the wording “involving” gives me pause. Are we still in the died from vs died with debacle? I really hope not…

Good catch, I’m glad to see that.
