[ExI] Even India and Haiti do it better

[Dylan Distasio]

John, a serious question, what is the point of constantly posting updated
US numbers here?  Even if we suppose the IFR is close to the flu, there are
still unfortunately going to be some deaths here.

Although you'll probably again label me a Trump supporter, I'd also point
out that US hospitals are incentivized financially to report CV-19 deaths
instead of other causes.   NY is particularly incentivized under their
reporting system:
