Exactly. Deaths are higher. They should be lower if the program in place was working. And as I said deaths are a trailing indicator. With 750,000 new infections a day at the current rate if the vaccines, weaker variant and new treatment options aren’t helping we will see those daily death numbers climb higher. I hope they don’t but I just think we can’t know yet.

I had thought that maybe the virus had felled the most vulnerable people last year. All those poor people in nursing homes with crap governors and people with other serious ailments who just couldn’t fight off the infection. I don’t know the demographics of the types who are falling victim now. CDC director cited “4 or more co-morbidities” accounting for 75% of deaths, but I am not sure I believe her. These government people love to play with numbers as it suits their agenda.
