Do you know where one can get up-to-date, raw mortality numbers? CDC doesn't publish anything until they've had time to categorize them, but CDC's processes are seriously in question right now.

My understanding is that there are variable lags up the chain, and some states don't report deaths for months. NYC as it happens is a relatively prompt reporter. Not sure if there is any public information locally before it's reported upwards, e.g. if you could send volunteers to county health offices.

This was discussed fairly widely recently when people were interpreting recent decline in year over year deaths as evidence that COVID responses were saving lives (e.g. less driving). But it was almost all just typical reporting lag.

They are making an effort in keep things updated. Of course, they depend on the official figures of every country or state that are not very accurate at the moment. The sources that they are using in any case are there too.
