The coronavirus has become the third-highest cause of death in the U.S., according to a doctor’s analysis of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data.
Maria Danilychev of San Diego charted coronavirus growth throughout the country and found that COVID-19 fatalities had surpassed Alzheimer’s, stroke and chronic lung disease with 748 deaths per day and rising, The Sacramento Bee reported Wednesday.
The analysis is based on reports from a single day, assuming the rate of deaths remains the same or increases from now until the virus hits the projected apex towards the end of April.
Heart disease is responsible for 1,774 U.S. deaths per day, and cancer causes 1,641 deaths each day, according to the CDC.
