More than 1,000 in US die in a single day from coronavirus, doubling the worst daily death toll of the flu
h/t Instapundit

[USA Today] - The U.S. topped 1,000 coronavirus deaths in a single day for the first time Wednesday, a daily death toll more than double that of two of America's most deadly illnesses ‐ lung cancer and the flu.

Death counts from the virus are difficult to keep up to date, but the Johns Hopkins coronavirus database ‐ whose sources include the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the European CDC and the National Health Commission of China ‐ shows that the U.S. hit 1,040 cases Wednesday at 10:25 p.m. ET. Since the virus' first appearance in the U.S. in late January, 5,116 people have died and more than 215,000 have been infected.
Instapundit Comment: THIS IS WHY THE FLU COMPARISONS A MONTH AGO WERE BULLSHIT ‐ THEY DIDN’T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE GROWTH RATE

#1 It was always moronic to say this was just a flu.

#2 Its also moronic to count people who die of other underlying causes but just happen to test positive for the virus in the wrap up.
