Even the death numbers are going to be off. Lot of deaths either were attributed to the ultimate cause (i.e. heart attack) or happened at home and haven't been attributed to covid as of yet.

No, it's the other way around. Normally deaths would be specifically linked to e.g. the flu, but in this case, all deaths are being tested for COVID-19 and mostly assigned with that as the 'cause' even if there were other causes like heart failure.

There was an article in the Spectator today where a doctor made that point: that this disease has been made a 'notifiable disease' whereas a normal flu wouldn't be, meaning each death gets tested and reported up to the government if positive, whereas for other types of coronavirus the death would just be marked as pneumonia, for example. The data isn't being treated consistently.

They're bad, but if you put it into the context of normal daily life it's not that crazy. Check out the CDC stats[1] yourself. On average there are about ~1700 deaths per day from heart disease alone in the US, according to the CDC data.

If heart disease deaths were contagious and increasing by 33% daily, that'd be a great point.

If the number of heart disease deaths doubled every 3 days I would take heart disease much more seriously than I do now.

None of those other numbers are doubling every three days.

And now that number is going to go up because medical care is less available.

Those numbers are going to go up if your hospitals are overwhelmed.

Additionally, a very large percentage of health care workers will catch the virus, this will further reduce the amount of capacity.

Loss of health care workers could be a long term issue as well given the CFR in a place like Italy.
