Roughly one in every fifteen Americans have now tested positive for the novel coronavirus, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

Over the past weekend, the United States surpassed twenty-two million cases and 370,000 related deaths—both figures by far the highest among all countries.

Health officials, however, are anticipating even darker days ahead despite the surge in cases and fatalities in recent weeks.

so sorry about your mom’s troubles, i will say a prayer. my mom is doing well because i made a conscious decision to keep her in her own house and for us the family to be caregivers by going to her.

again, made my decisions months back during the summer about what this covid19 really is and does, as i said, again, cause of death is an art and subject to all kinds of errors and falsification, in the best of times.

i have relied more on my medical schools’ numbers (which break things down by demographic, age, etc.) than the cdc’s and even those i supplement and check. one thing i did was look at excess deaths per month and broken down by region and demographic, comparing to our area directly. that helped me get a better local picture. remember, this is also a very local disease. and i’ve found that, aggregate numbers are misleading on their face. LA and NYC are very different places from N. Dakota and Wyoming.

when all is said and done, i expect that the excess count of people who died from covid19 as a major factor will be far more in certain demographics and locales (e.g., nursing homes/elderly in group homes, inner-city, illegal immigrants, certain ethnic groups, etc) than last year, and that in other demographics (e.g., young adult, kids, etc.) will be less. it’ll will certainly be far less than 300K when the final analyses are done, imo, if serious people are allowed to look, years from now. that’s the other thing, we’re way to close to this right now to get good official analysis. politics and media are muddying the waters tremendously to create fear, of course.

overall, i expect that the total excess deaths for this year will be in the noise of the last say 100 years of data.

anyway, thanks for your comment. may God have mercy on all of us.

The numbers you mention aren’t necessarily written in stone, but while we wait the number that will die from the tyranny of the left will dwarf anything this virus has in store.
