RE: Daily deaths. As the number of patients tested for Covid19 increases, the daily death is fairly obviously going to increase as well. Below is taken from the guidance for filling out death certificates. Until they release the full datasets, where you can see the other conditions being treated, the true death rate is harder to establish. Also below is weekly deaths in the UK last year. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/datasets/weeklyprovisionalfiguresondeathsregisteredinenglandandwales
Edit: Point I'm failing at making is, that they could be more specific and quantify deaths due to viral pneumonia, ARDS, etc. Rather than just positive cases who have died.
