death rate

[TheDane]

Hello, how do you calculate the death rate per day?
Is it (dead in one year/population)/365
Thanks in advance

I am trying to model COVID with an SEIR-model with Euler's method. But I need the birth rate (Lambda) or the death rate (mu) and my delta t is one day. I have set the death rate to be equal to the birthrate therefore S+E+I+R=1. So I need either the birthrate or death rate.

That would be the average "deaths per day".
