UPDATE:
It's come to my attention that a significant part of the population has no idea how many people die from influenza every year, fully separate from COVID-19.
People are, in fact, going so far as to ignore standard Pneumonia precautions, focusing only on COVID-19, as if the mortality rate between the two is so wide that Pneumonia is something to safely disregard.
There is only an approximate 11.45% difference in the mortality rates and there are weeks when Pneumonia mortality rate surpasses COVID-19 mortality rate.
This is the way Pneumonia's annual average mortality rate has always been throughout the centuries since Pneumonia was first tracked.
The CDC charts it, so beginning with 2022, I've added the mortality rate for Pneumonia.
March 15 - CDC Footnotes: "On March 15, 2022, data on deaths were adjusted after resolving a coding logic error. This resulted in decreased death counts across all demographic categories."
The total mortality count is now reduced by approximately 70,000.
FeoNote: Data logs saved from before and after this announcement shows no significant change on a scale reflecting the 70,000 figure.

UPDATES:As of January 24, 2022
The astonishing spread of the Omicron variant could help set the stage for the pandemic to transition from overwhelming to manageable in Europe this year, a top health official said on Monday, potentially offering the world a glimpse at how countries can ease restrictions while keeping the virus at bay.
Full story at The New York Times.
As of December 01, 2021
First detected on November 22 in Botswana laboratories and reported by South Africa to WHO on November 24, the latest variant of COVID-19 or
SARS-CoV-2, is named Omicron (variant B.1.1.529) on November 26. WHO labels it a "Variant of concern" on the advice of their TAG-VE.
As of November 13, 2021
The CDC, which since July 2021 has virtually left the 2020 death toll counts alone excluding minor single digit tweaks, began reshuffling the 2020 mortality rate in earnest, although nothing that comes close to the allegedly high numbers Anthony Fauci (Head of NIAID) and Bob Anderson (Chief chief of NVSS) claimed the previous president suppressed. Since the arrival of the new administration, there have been no major leaps in the overall death count of 2020 despite the fact that the head of CDC announced they'd counted the numbers but were not allowed to reveal them under Trump.
As of August, 2021
The Delta Variant aka India Variant, was first classified in India on May 31, 2021. It's one of three variants from lineage B.1.617 of COVID-19. It's theorized to be responsible for the February 2021 second wave of COVID-19 deaths in that country. It was first identified by multiple sources in the U.S. in August.
As of September 11, 2021
Evidence builds that COVID-19 originated in a Wuhan, China lab. It's the only theory with any supporting evidence behind it. Despite the U.S. Media and Facebook's contrary reporting, there remains no science research or evidence to refute this. In fact, as of this writing, there was never evidence to substantiate a counter claim, according to WSJ and MIT, despite claims by the U.S. Media.
As of May 24, 2021, the CDC has yet again decided that no deaths in the U.S. happened in the week of Jan. 4. This following news that the long labeled "Conspiracy Theory Hoax" of COVID-19 originating in a Wuhan, China lab is still the only theory that has any supporting evidence behind it. Further, there was never any science research that conclusively proved otherwise. In fact, as of this writing, there is no evidence to substantiate a counter claim, according to WSJ and MIT.*
"The WHO-led team that visited Wuhan concluded in a joint report with Chinese experts in March that the virus most likely spread from bats to humans via another animal, and that a laboratory leak was "extremely unlikely."
However, team members said they didn't view raw data or original lab, safety and other records. On the same day the report came out, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the team hadn't adequately examined the lab leak hypothesis, and called for a fuller probe of the idea."
As of July 3, 2021, the CDC has decided that the death of Patient 0 in the U.S.A. DID NOT occur on Jan. 4, but one week later on Jan. 11, seven days before China reported their first COVID-19 death on Jan. 18.
As of May 18, 2021, the CDC decided that the death of Patient 0 in the U.S.A. DID occur on Jan. 4, thirteen days before China reported their first COVID-19 death on Jan. 18.
As of April 3, 2021, the CDC decided that Patient 0 in the U.S.A. DID NOT occur on Jan. 4, but two weeks later in the week of Jan. 18 with three separate Patient Zeros.
As of Dec. 15, 2020
COVID-19 Vaccines were administered in the U.S., with health-care workers and older people living in health facilities getting the first of the 2.9 million doses already manufactured.
Mutiple media sources report that the first COVID-19 death did not occur in the U.S. until February 3, 2020, but as of April 2021, CDC maintains that C-19 deaths occurred in January.
NYT reports that the first death by COVID-19 in China happened on Jan. 11, 2020. CDC reports three deaths in the U.S. by Jan. 18, 2020. NYT maintains that the first death in the U.S. did not happen until Feb. 29, 2020 - Leap Year day. NYT also maintains that, due to the inherent incompetence of the Chinese Government, precautions, cautions, and other measures to limit the spread of COVID-19 were intentionally bungled by the Chinese bureacracy.

This is not meant to be either a damning or glib statement regarding conflicting news from various sources. What's important to remember is that no one source has all the answers and believing otherwise is a matter of faith. The spread of such faith in single sources for news leads to misinformation.
Throughout the 17 months of doing this graph, and the 10 months of making it public here, I arbitrarily locked the updates whenever I felt a curious change took place. Please note that my curiousity factor in archiving these frozen moments is due to my personal filter and so empirical.
