  1. Please note the use of predicted, not reported deaths. We recommend predicted provisional counts since they are adjusted for incomplete reporting. Predicted counts are also expected to be underestimated, as those counts continue to increase over the first several months after being posted.
  2. This period covers February 2024 to January 2025. This is the most recent national data available.
