USA over 700,000 deaths

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   According to Worldometers ( https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ ) USA has past the 700,000 mark for deaths from Covid19.  That works out at 2,109 deaths per million (or 0,21%).    

In terms of the ration of deaths to population I see that Mississippi (3,517/1M)  has over taken New Jersey (3,072/1M)  to be the worst hit State (3 517/1M).  And that Louisiana (2,947/1M) is in third place pushing New York (2 860/1M)  down to fourth place. 

It seems that the Delta variant is now hitting some States hard that had escaped the worst of the first waves of the virus.. I wonder if the early results lead to a complacency and now those States are starting to pay the price for that complacency.   
I have seem this pattern in some other countries, so it is not just a product of the political divide.

	Edwin and DJ, I know that the death rate from the flu pandemic of 1918 was 2-3 percent in many areas. So it makes sense that the death rate for covid is similar. Simply a moral failure to vaccinate and to use PPE and NPI's. We are going to pay for this long into the future.

	It's interesting to note, That the Spanish flu was "just a flu" A "novel " one but just a "flu" all the same, I posted link to a good docco ,in another topic, The figure I remember is 50%of the population were infected,50%of thoses died..... Take care all 😷😉💉
