Here's the data compilation from 2017. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm This talks about the delta for 2018. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db355.htm This talks about decline in cancer death rates entering 2020: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/annual-report-nation-cancer-death-rates-continue-decline-2020 More from the NIH, circa 2017. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/study-finds-premature-death-rates-diverge-united-states-race-ethnicity So the tendencies seem to indicate most other disease-related deaths are about the same; perhaps declining slightly. COVID-19 co-morbidities probably account for some (maybe a lot) of the current growth; but that also correlates with the supersaturation of the ICU's and ER's, plus the number of victims who don't get any care at all, perhaps dying in their homes. I will make a value judgement; the ball has been seriously dropped here. We'll be living and dying with the fallout from this for a long time.

Yup, it's all dependent on data collection (testing) and open reporting (science writing). We'd also all live a lot longer if partisan politics took a vacation. I'm holding my breath. Although by doing so one misses out on some pretty interesting things. https://www.sciencefocus.com/planet-earth/are-we-really-breathing-caesars-last-breath/

Unfortunately, in my country, unlike yours, we may need to wait for regime change to occur before we're able to adequately muster the medical and biological resources to get this handled. Hopefully this will happen by around the beginning of 2021.

Sounds like Minnesota is still at least 2-3 months away from the (first) peak. https://www.startribune.com/no-covid-19-peak-yet-in-minnesota/569628222/

Just How Disciplined Are Twins Hitters?

They probably don't swing at a bad pitch this year. -
Pretty much a drop in the proverbial bucket, but a starting place I suppose. https://www.npr.org/2020/04/03/826254936/the-coronavirus-small-business-loan-program-what-you-need-to-know

Yes, it's been tough since we lost the last of our three Goldens, just three weeks ago today. Just as all of this crap was hitting the fan, too. Makes for an empty house.
