Over the last couple of weeks, the US is getting about the same number of cases (over 20,000/day) but the official number of deaths has declined. Many think this is because covid deaths are not being recorded.
As the Trumcompoop says, if you don’t test you don’t have cases.
The Washington post investigated this and estimated official deaths are probably underestimating actual covid deaths by 40%.
But this was a couple of weeks ago, so the unofficial death rate is probably much higher now.
