I believe you will find that is the 7-day average of daily deaths.

154 -> 1078 deaths in a week
205 -> 1435 deaths in a week (1500 seemed close enough)

It's odd that those numbers are about 50 less than what the WaPo presents. It *could* be that the WaPo accumulates on the day the deaths were reported rather than assigning them to the day they occurred.
