When you have to "RATION" Health care death rates go up and up from the "normal" 2.5 percent of cases up to 5% and then 10% deaths and beyond from a lack of health care, (especially in country communities without good hospital care in the first place who often only have clinics. So, in western states where a hospital literally might be 25 to 50 miles away from most people this becomes a more and more serious problem especially for people without reliable transportation to get to these hospitals or who are without good health care insurance (who might not ever choose to go to any hospital without it because they don't want to bankrupt their families with health care costs. So, they will just die without any health care at home or on the streets instead. And these ones are NEVER tested and so NEVER counted in the first place.
So, to really understand the problem multilply all tested death rates by 3 to get a better idea of the real death counts.
A Yale study figured out that for every 8000 tested deaths there are 15,000 non-tested coronavirus deaths. So, 3 times the tested rate is the approximate actual death count from coronavirus.
IF we say presently that the tested death rate is 220,000 for example, the actual death rate so far is 660,000 deaths or likely much more than that so far.
According to Coronavirus Realtime Updates (an app on my phone) it says that presently there are 229,539 tested deaths by the way here in the U.S. which would bring the actual 3 times estimation to 718,617 approximate estimated deaths both tested
and untested here in the U.S. so far.
But, if you want a more accurate estimation of deaths take
whatever the count is and divide by 8000 and multiply that by
15,000 to see how many died but didn't get tested and then
add that to the basic count for the total.
