What's this?

Looks like somebody drew it with a Sharpie. The way I see that is we should

expect around 16 deaths per 100,000 per week but for a period we were getting around 23. I would call a sudden 40 or more % increase in the rate of death of Americans pretty substantial and worth worrying about. Of course, stated as a ratio per 100,000 makes the numbers seem small. I wonder why they didn't show per million, or per billion. And if you show 10 years rather than one or two years it looks even smaller. Surprised they didn't show 100 years of data. I'm not sure what the point was, other than "it's just the flu" approach to minimizing things. The bottom line is close to 140,000 Americans have died of this in four months. No big deal, let's play football, right?
