More Americans have been given at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine than have tested positive for the virus as of Monday, Bloomberg reported.
The Bloomberg Vaccine Tracker recorded that 26.5 million Americans had received at least the first dose of one of the vaccines as of Monday, marking a milestone in the vaccine rollout as global cases have fallen. Since the first positive U.S.-based case was detected a year ago, 26.2 million people in the country have tested positive for COVID-19.
The vaccine rollout is the biggest vaccination campaign in history, with an average of 1.35 million people vaccinated in the U.S. per day, a rate faster than any other country in the world, according to Bloomberg.
The World Health Organization (WHO) celebrated the declining rate of global coronavirus cases, a trend seen across the U.S. as new cases fell for the third consecutive week globally, US News reported. In the U.S., hospitalizations fell below 100,000 for only the second time since early December, although the numbers are still higher than they were during earlier waves, according to the Wall Street Journal....

I'm too fried to think of a sarcastic comment. I'm sure a few of you can supply some.
The year-long fearfest worked like magic.
More people have eaten at McDonalds than have died of diabetes or heart disease.
Scary.
All because of Trump. These morons could never have organized this.
Observation. Ironic counterpoint.
Snarkety-snark-snark!!!

What is the true death rate from this virus when one removes the comorbidity for it and flu and then compare the two?
It is not that much different.
Frankly I am in total awe and amazement how this disease (it is just a really nasty flu) was allowed to shut down the world with the exception of China were it originated. I must admit China and the far left and the media are masters of propaganda.
This would have never happened with an honest media which died years ago.
My wife and I and our youngest who is graduating from our local university (USF) and has a Large circle of friends and drives for Uber while looking for a job know of a single person who has contracted the Wuhan Virus.
We almost never wear masks unless we absolutely have no choice. Two of our neighbors are nurses and they have no concern telling us the pandemic is seriously overhyped for political reasons. They point out the astonishing Influenza stats where a perennial virus has suddenly, mysteriously nearly been nearly eradicated. And, they laugh.
The four times a day Covid-Fear Port. They up the dosage as needed to hide our view from the really troubling stuff going on.
Anything to take out Trump and his movement. It is truly mind boggling how almost demonic this whole massively coordinated movement has been. Feel like I am living a Twilight Zone.
Don’t know of!!!

Man that Joe Biden is amazing!
Yep. The world has turned into a bunch of mindless sheep, running in fear from fear to fear. The adult leaders have vacated the premises.
The death rate for Covid-19 this morning was at 1.685%. The influenza death rate varies, but is around 0.1%. That makes Covid-19 almost 17 times more deadly than influenza.
Put another way, Covid-19 has killed 441,409 people as of this morning. In 2018 (the most recent year with finalized numbers), influenza killed 49,783 people.
These are all US numbers. No matter how you look at it, Covid-19 is far more deadly than influenza. And that is even with the 2009 pandemic strain still floating around, which has caused higher than usual influenza deaths since it first showed up.
And more people have gotten the flu shot and not had the flu.
Oh well life goes on until one of these items gets us and
it’s so long.
$$$$$$$$$ PHARMA $$$$$$$$$
ALSO
$$$$$$$$$$$$ to Mortuaries......
Not one, not two.
It has been completely surreal.
My controversial, non scientific, opinion is that people have died of fear when they were told they had the corona.
I have met people who are terrified of this illness.
Mass Hysteria and Manipulation of the public is real.
Technology has reached a point where if you engage with media you may lose your mind. It is toxic. Used to be they were patriotic (40s50s) then they went left (60s-80s) not sure what happened in the 90s but 2000 on full on woke post modern relativist. It is exhausting just trying to find the grain of the original story that is real.
I miss editors.
Why aren't they testing for antibodies?
