And the other point to remember is the excess deaths reported in state vital statistics and people who die who are not diagnosed with the disease.

My state currently reports 63,215 total cases, 595 deaths (less than 1%).
Highest number of positives: Oct 16: 1,286 … second highest Oct 23: 1,225.
…..

Some excess deaths may be attributed to people not getting the health care they need for other conditions for fear of contracting the virus. Or, especially during the original surge, health care workers not being available to handle routine ailments because they are overwhelmed with COVID cases.
