Individual US death data #1044

Open PaulMansour opened 4 years ago

PaulMansour commented 4 years ago

The database contains only (regarding deaths) aggregate deaths per region per day.

For US deaths, is there any way to get age, sex, etc for each individual death? Is this data not available from from the CDC daily?

Related but why are US deaths still separated by location? Makes data appear less severe.

Because the US is a union of independant states, not one large single state or country.

I think this answered in a round about way by the issue #558

Basically the CDC has no pandemic reporting system in place where county coroners would go to web site and log in coronvirus deaths with basic stats about the deceased. It would be a trivial system to implement, and then up to the minute reporting would be trivial. That it appears this does not exist is amazing. I'm not sure what purpose the CDC has if it does not do this type of thing.
