But even if they drop to 400 per day and stay there, us deaths will reach around 260,000 by the end of the year for basically 9 months. The deaths per 9 months in the USA runs around 485,000 for cancer. That makes COVID and its comorbidity the third leading cause of death. It is more likely that COVID will end up around 300,000 for 2020 which on a 12 month basis would be 400,000.
