I think that's kind of a reach, but you're entitled to your opinion

You are right that the chart title says what it is but the average person will

I would be interested to see if COVID19 deaths are truly incremental to those

I'm guessing that the others are the US daily averages

It says that the others are average. Which seems fair. We have years of data

Imagine the chart showing deaths per day on September 12, 2001

Wait, you know we expect the other deaths to go up because COVID uncontrolled
