according to the NYTimes 3k deaths of people with covid-19 symptoms (not tested) have been added to the NYCity count, meaning over 10k ppl died of the disease in the city alone

Shows a graph with a timeline and deaths in newyork city.
It starts in 2000 and goes to 2020 april 4th.

You see that although back then, there was registered 3,350 deaths due to coronavirus, actually there was a spike thats actually 5,330 higher (than reported) numbers.  Its clear that even though these people wheren't counted as "due to coronavirus" its very likely thats the cause.

I think its a safe bet that actual numbers, are likely atleast x2 of whatever  worldometers.info says for the US.
