Reporting deaths is a sensitive process - and just like confirmed cases, the actual number of deaths is almost certainly higher than what is reported.
And what we observe today is a result of actions taken a few weeks ago aje.io/rcgz4

If someone contracts #COVID19, how likely is that person to die?
The infection-fatality-rate (IFR) is the proportion of people who die out of the actual number of people who were infected - which is what actually helps us calculate the risk of death aje.io/rcgz4

How do we measure if things are getting better or worse each day?
One way is to compare the weekly rolling averages.
This allows you to see if the number of new #coronavirus infections this week was higher or lower than last week aje.io/rcgz4
