From the csv, here is "All Deaths" for first 12 weeks of each year:
I wish I could find a page on the CDC website that links to these reports, but you can easily get the latest report by just increasing the week number by 1.

Plugging it into a graph is more dramatic, especially looking at the numbers in 2018 (2017-2018 season).I wish I could find a page on the CDC website that links to these reports, but you can easily get the latest report by just increasing the week number by 1.

“The percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza is 8.2% which is above the epidemic threshold of 7.2%. Deaths due to pneumonia have increased sharply since the end of February, while those due to influenza increased modestly through early March and declined this week. Deaths attributed specifically to COVID-19 will be reported next week.”
