- Total US deaths due to covid since 18 March 2020 : 547,510
- Number of minutes in a year : 525,600
- Deaths per minute over that 525,600 minutes : 1.04
- Average rate at which Americans died of covid : 57.5 sec
I have to say, I'm impressed by these numbers. For me that death rate was unimaginable 13 months ago. I knew that it got high during the peaks, but until the anniversary of the shutdown I didn't think to notice that total deaths exceeded the minutes in a year.
