This paper investigates the mortality statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic from the United States perspective. We bring out several exciting and glaring aspects of the pandemic, otherwise hidden, using empirical data analysis and statistical inference tools. First, specific patterns seen in demographics such as race/ethnicity are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. We looked at the role of factors such as population density in mortality rates. A detailed study of the connections between COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases is also covered. Finally, we examine the temporal dynamics of the COVID-19 outbreak and vaccines stellar impact in controlling the pandemic. Statistical inference such as the ones gathered in this paper would be helpful for better scientific understanding, policy preparation, and thus adequately preparing, should a similar situation arise in the future.
