The death toll is likely higher due to lack of testing and political reasons.

I have been keeping tabs on this link:
Excess Deaths Associated with COVID-19
It shows weekly excess mortality in the U.S. from 2017 to present for all causes. Regardless of how deaths are being counted I felt like this illustrated better than anything else how the pandemic has impacted mortality in the U.S. When you start looking at the data by specific locations that have been heavily impacted (i.e. New York, New Jersey) it gives you a sense of just how messed up this has been for certain regions. I would love to see the exact same dataset but with splits for age and gender, but alas.
