Ah - I see. It appears to be.
The inference being that corona virus is killing - directly or indirectly - about 6,000 people per week.
Might even be more, depending on whether deaths from other causes are actually down. On the one hand there's less activity of all kinds (so fewer accidents etc. expected), on the other hand people are more hesitant to go see a doctor (so possibly a higher death rate from equal rates of illness, accidents etc.).

Isn't 15.6k the total weekly deaths, up 37% from a recent average of 9.5k?
