May 29th, pandemic watch
Although Brazil now exceeds the US on daily fatalities and confirmed cases, it stands at ~ 1/4 the US total for both.
The other 3 big ascending countries of BRIM-US represent even a smaller fraction to date (log-scale, cumulative)
Other countries on the watch list (log-fatality curves)
Peru, Chile, Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt, Philippines
Ecuador, Argentina, Colombia
These are the latest @FT graphs for excess mortality
The US has an excess mortality of ~70,000 which would increase its current death toll to well over 170, 000
Peru leads in % relative to prior dates; Spain leads in excess per capita

Correction: the 70K number for excess mortality is correct, as calculated by @FT. But that can't simply be added. The confirmed fatalities stands at ~102,000 (the excess + actual confirmed estimated ~ 130,000 by others, but not 170,000). Sorry for the confusion on my part.
The @CDCgov issued a new report on excess US deaths today cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr…
In it, this graph is interactive for week-to-week variance of observed deaths vs expected, using prior time periods
