Hard-hit California eclipsed 2 million coronavirus cases on Christmas Eve as the U.S. headed into a holiday season of travel and family gatherings that threaten to fuel the deadly crisis across the nation.
Despite warnings from public health experts to stay home, over 1.19 million travelers passed through U.S. airport security checkpoints Wednesday — down by about 40% from a year ago, but the highest one-day total since the crisis took hold in mid-March.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious-disease expert, said he is particularly worried about travel between Christmas and New Year’s. Fauci, who turned 80 on Thursday, said he and his wife would be celebrating his birthday and the holiday with their children on Zoom.
“We have a big problem,” Fauci told The Washington Post. “Look at the numbers — the numbers are really quite dramatic.”
The virus has taken more than 327,000 lives in the U.S., with the nation repeatedly recording over 3,000 deaths per day over the past two weeks.
Americans have high hopes for vaccines — officials had promised that some 20 million people would be vaccinated by year’s end. But as of Wednesday, about 1.1 million Americans had received the first dose of the two-dose inoculations, yet another disappointment in a year of many.
The only number on the CDC website that is absolutely not available without doing 3 days of math is simply the royal number of overall deaths in the US from ALL causes compared to the last 5 years.
There’s a reason for this.
Look up Johns Hopkins researcher total deaths and find out.
I meant “total”, not “royal”
Covid 19 , covid 19 that’s all we hear about , I just did some reading and found that 5.5 million people have died from flue related illness , 120,000 from pneumonia , 750,000 from OD of drugs , 200,000 from heart related illness all these in the past year, the list goes on and on , where is the MSM on these figures.
More of the same BS , so tired of all this crap , I had this so called virus for about a week , I’m in good health now at 78 years old , It was a snap , little fever , little cough , little sick . Get over it folks , nothing more than another flue , I even had some sex .
