Biden marks “tragic milestone” of 1 million American lives lost to COVID-19
“Today we mark a tragic milestone here in the United States: 1 million COVID deaths. One million empty chairs around the family dinner table. Each irreplaceable, irreplaceable losses,” Mr Biden said in recorded remarks from the White House. “Each leaving behind a family, a community, forever changed because of this pandemic. My heart goes out to all of those who are struggling.”

COVID deaths leave thousands of U.S. kids grieving parents or primary caregivers
“Of all the sad statistics the U.S. has dealt with this past year and a half, here is a particularly difficult one: A new study estimates that more than 140,000 children in the U.S. have lost a parent or a grandparent caregiver to COVID-19. The majority of these children come from racial and ethnic minority groups.”
U.S. Coronavirus Death Toll Surpasses 700,000 Despite Wide Availability of Vaccines
“The latest Covid-19 deaths were concentrated in the South, and included more younger people than before. Every age group under 55 saw its highest death toll of the pandemic this August.”
Excess mortality during the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19)
U.S. deaths normally change less than 2% each year. In 2020, they rose nearly 23%.
More Deaths than Births in Alabama in 2020
“Dr. Scott Harris, the State Health Officer of the Alabama Department of Public Health, brought some grim stats to the press this week:
“This past year, for Alabama, the year 2020… we are going to have more deaths in the state of Alabama than we have ever had in the history of the state of Alabama, by a lot,” Harris said Wednesday in a COVID-19 Town Hall today with AL.com. “We’re going to have around six or seven thousand more people who died in our state this past year than any year we have ever had, going back to the year 1900. That’s how far I’ve asked our staff to go back.”
[…]
“This is the first year in the history of Alabama that we’ve had more deaths in our state than we had births in our state,” Harris said. “Our state shrank last year. And it’s not a coincidence that that’s about exactly the number of deaths we had from COVID.”
[…]
Harris reiterated that these excess deaths are indeed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and that COVID deaths haven’t been artificially inflated.”

The outbreak that invented intensive care
Hospitalized or fatal COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough cases reported to CDC as of July 26, 2021
As of July 26, 2021, more than 163 million people in the United States had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
During the same time, CDC received reports from 49 U.S. states and territories of 6,587 patients with COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infection who were hospitalized or died.”

In shocking news, US has highest number of new cases in the world
“The U.S. reported the highest number of new COVID-19 infections in the world in the last week as the delta variant fuels a surge of new cases, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO’s latest epidemiological report shows the U.S. tallied 500,332 new cases for the week ending July 25. That’s a 131-percent increase in new infections compared with the week prior.”
Then:
““I MYSELF have held the hand of dying patients who are crying out for their family that they can’t see. I’ve taken care of co-workers as they fight for their lives on a ventilator, and knowing that they got sick because the hospital or their government hasn’t protected them.” Those words from Minnesota nurse Mary Turner about her experiences on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic were delivered on a day when nearly 2,000 Americans died from the virus and during the week when the United States reached the grim milestone of 250,000 people dead. She cried talking about the suffering during a conference call Wednesday with President-elect Joe Biden. He too seemed near tears.”

Estimation of Excess Deaths Associated With the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United States, March to May 2020
“Key Points
Question Did more all-cause deaths occur during the first months of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in the United States compared with the same months during previous years?
Findings In this cohort study, the number of deaths due to any cause increased by approximately 122 000 from March 1 to May 30, 2020, which is 28% higher than the reported number of COVID-19 deaths.
Meaning Official tallies of deaths due to COVID-19 underestimate the full increase in deaths associated with the pandemic in many states.”

FLU?
“Well, you have to make the decision. Look, we lose thousands, I brought some numbers here, we lose thousands and thousands of people a year to the flu. We don’t turn the country off, I mean every year. Now when I heard the number, we average 37,000 people a year. Can you believe that? And actually this year we’re having a bad flu season, but we lose thousands of people a year to the flu. We never turn the country off.” President Donald Trump

Flu had 0.11% Mortality Rate
Flu Season was 187 Days, so going with 62,000 deaths that is 332 deaths per day.
The First Coronavirus Death was February 6th, so 556 days, with 612,168 deaths, or 1,101 deaths per day.

Swine Flu lasted 363 days – 34 deaths a day with a 0.02% mortality rate
Coronavirus? 556 days – 1,101 deaths a day so far with 1.76% mortality rate
