It only took a month for coronavirus to become the third-leading cause of death in the United States, according to a San Diego doctor and data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
COVID-19 is now killing 748 people per day in the U.S., Dr. Maria Danilychev said, citing data from Worldometers.info. Only heart disease (1,774 deaths per day) and cancer (1,641 deaths per day) are killing more people daily than coronavirus, CDC data shows.
Danilychev, a San Diego doctor, made the conclusion and charted coronavirus' growth throughout the country. Coronavirus has surpassed Alzheimer's, stroke, chronic lung disease and accidents in deaths per day, her data shows.
