Death rates appear differently than infections.
America& #39;s deaths are rising, but more slowly than infections.

Remember than many think these official stats are seriously undercounting the reality for a variety of reasons.
Let& #39;s say they& #39;re off by a factor of five.
Estimate global infections at 79,975,570.
Deaths: 3,218,680.

Or try official stats being just 1/3rd of reality.
Total infections would be around 45 million and deaths closer to 2 million.

That means about 1.2% of America is infected, as the US just broke 330 million people this month.

Let& #39;s say reported cases and deaths are undercounted by 3.
Then we could estimate around 12 million infections and 431,604 deaths.

If we break infections down by state, the big 3 are still very high: California, Texas, Florida.
