Monday much higher and Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday really soar.
Still the numbers are incredible.

Since Feb 29, the first death in the US it has been 100 days by my count. Not too hard to figure and average with that.
IIRC on May 1 we were around 60,000 deaths which means in the past ~ 40 days we have had 52,000+ deaths. (1300/day)

At the current rate we will 'celebrate' July 4th (27 days away) with 150,000 deaths from covid-19 due to Trump.

Since the focus has been shifted by the media from people dying from covid-19 is now, like everything else Trump, "normalized"
