FWIW, if we had the same death per/1M pop rate that Sweeden had, we'd have 44,346 more deaths at this moment in time, than we have right now. If it was the same as the UK, we'd have an additional 41,699 on top of that.

I'm entirely comfortable in suggesting that, yeah, we probably HAVE had 50k more deaths than what's been reported. If you look at the spike in respiratory deaths compared to 'normal' for the Feb-April period, and consider that tests were scarce and certainly not being used on the dead to determine whether or not they were infected...
