Did you even read it? Data for the week ending 5/2 and lagging by 1-2 weeks. Other sources, like the Johns Hopkins map, had 44k deaths around April 23 so it all adds up. 10 days from now CDC will show 60k+ like currently shown by real-time (or close to it) sources.

These stats are still inflated no matter how you cut it, because they include "with COVID" deaths as dictated by CDC reporting standards.


"It  is  important  to  remember  that  death  certificate  reporting  may  not  meet  mandatory  reporting  requirements  for  reportable  diseases;  contact  the  local  health  department regarding regulations specific to the jurisdiction.In  cases  where  a  definite  diagnosis  of  COVID–19  cannot  be  made,  but  it  is  suspected  or  likely  (e.g.,  the  circumstances  are  compelling  within  a  reasonable  degree  of  certainty),  it  is  acceptable  to  report  COVID–19  on  a  death  certificate  as  “probable” or “presumed.”"
