Yes, even though right now about 1,000 less but comparable to the numbers of fear about a year ago.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ Daily New Deaths in the United States:
Jan. 27, 2021: 4,407; 7 day average: 3,443
Jan 26, 2022: 3,563; 7 day average: 2,539, comparable to Feb,. 14, 2021
Now if this was a GOP administration, the headlines would often be how the vaccine failed to deliver on its promises, with some liberals charging with Trump being responsible for the failure and 932,443 deaths. Everyone.
“Right now” is not Jan 26. Last year’s decline was steep, early. It’s much closer early Feb.
And last year we did not have this new issue of states not reporting.
