Coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths in the United States are continuing to reach record highs.

Over 19,300 Americans died in the past week alone, beating the existing weekly record by almost 400 deaths, according to a Johns Hopkins University database. Almost 4,100 Americans died on Thursday, shattering a previous daily record my approximately 200 deaths and equaling a death in the U.S. every 21 seconds.

The spike in deaths mirrors record case counts across the country. Almost 275,000 cases were reported on Thursday, just missing the daily record of 291,384 cases set six days earlier.

“Coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths in the United States are continuing to reach record highs.”

We are breaking records for positive test here in the OBX NC.
I am in quarantine for being in contact with a positive test, person.

It wasn’t the bullet, it wasn’t the car crash, and it wasn’t being older than dirt. It was the COVID he had 3 months ago.

So half of all deaths are from CV which is 99.7% survivable?

I remember that the flu thing, didn't it used to kill 50,000 to 150,000 Americans a year?

These releases are the prep for the Great lockdown that will happen after the 20th. They have to make sure they pulverize the middle class beyond repair.

Are the demographics of COVID-19, particularly age distribution, changing?

Stay safe, as of this AM positives are surpassing 2K. A lot for a small strip of land. And rising exponentially according to the people who track that type of thing. I was in contact with my girl friend who has it. We are in our 70’s and at high risk. We’ve been very careful since last March and she still got the virus.

Which "American dies every 21 seconds from COVID"? I want a name!

On the other hand and if my long-mothballed use of exponents is accurate, if it's a different American who "dies every 21 seconds from COVID" this Communist Chinese virus will have succeeded in exterminating the American population in just under 220 years.

It's not outside the realm of possibility that the governors plan to continue the masking, lockdowns, distancing, etc., etc. at various times over the next two centuries to "stop the spread".
