The coronavirus has killed over 100,000 people in the US in just 4 months. This chart shows how that compares to other common causes of death.

The novel coronavirus has killed over 100,000 Americans in just the four months since the first confirmed case in the country.
To put that into perspective, we compared that death toll to the average number of deaths from several common causes between February and May of recent years.
While heart disease and cancer typically kill around 200,000 Americans in those months, the coronavirus has been far deadlier than several other common causes of death, including car accidents and influenza.
