The pace of COVID-19 deaths has remained relatively steady since May, despite an uptick in July to about 400 a day, according to a USA TODAY analysis of Johns Hopkins University data.

“We’re sitting on this horrible plateau,” said Dr. Daniel Griffin, an infectious disease specialist with Pro Health Care in New York and a clinical instructor of medicine at Columbia University. “It’s been this way for the past couple of months, and we’re getting used to it.”

In July, more than 12,500 Americans died of COVID-19, according to the USA TODAY analysis.

The US regime thought people would only tolerate 200 deaths a day, but it turns out the brainwashed american populace can be taught to accept twice that rate by convincing everyone it's only other people that will get sick and die. :amerikkka-clap:

COVID-19 is “like having to live in flu season year round, and that’s not what we do with the flu,” he said. “If we had to do that with the flu, we’d be instituting more measures than what we do.”

    400/day means we have a 9/11 worth of Americans dying every week from a preventable illness.

      I mean, it's not preventable if >30% refuse to do anything to help stop it, and the rest don't believe in making them, and the ghouls won;t pay them to stay the fuck inside.

        It’s preventable in that you could, if you truly wanted to, shut down all businesses and deploy the army to patrol the streets and keep people inside, delivering food as needed. Do what they claimed China did and literally weld peoples doors shut if needed.

          lol, it would be preventable in china. that could not happen (for this) in american.

          only labor action or an anti racist movement could provoke that kind of reaction here.

      Yeah, if monkeypox spreads easily on surfaces, and not just being in close contact with someone infected, we're fucked. Not enough vaccines and an election coming up so the "party of science" won't lift a finger to stop it in fear of pissing off voters and making line go down.

        Good thing we all blew our load on sanitizing surfaces back in 2020 on the disease it doesn’t do anything for and now most people think of that as bullshit security theater

      then they're going to use the fact that it's killing them as a reason to do a pogrom on 'the gays' because it's a gay disease, and it's killing 'us' now, so clearly, the gays are killing us!

        Depends on your state/county it seems. Some barely have any vaccines and it's impossible, others you basically just have to say you have had lots of sex recently

    In Florida, you can see the wastewater spike for 2 weeks correlating with their holidays about a weekor so previously. Memorial day and July 4th. But in orange county (Disney country) that was on top of an overall growth as schools let out for summer. So, Orange County is above double the wastewater levels of last year's Delta wave peak. As I'm sure you can imagine all the floridians are acting responsibly and have stopped going to the parks and....🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

      Having lived most of my life in this hellish state, I honestly believe that those theme parks shouldn’t be allowed to be open between June 1 and October 1, even pre-covid, just because of the heat risks to staff and guests. I know people who work at the parks/used to, and heat exhaustion is such a bad problem. Every theme park I know of has medical staff on site and the majority of what they deal with is heat related.

      Building theme parks on the surface of the sun was a bad move and Walt Disney should’ve been shot. California was far and away the better location to build theme parks in, but for some dumb fucking reason they did it in the middle of the world’s hottest swamp.

        I'm regularly trying to convince my friends and family we need to abandon the state. Idk, if you've noticed but homeowner insurance companies are slowly pulling out as well. They claim it's from excessive scams, but I'm not buying it. The writing is on the wall, miami is flooding regularly, covid is runnig wild and I'm sure monkeypox is not far behind. Every map out there might as well have Failed State stamped on it.

          One of the most baffling things in the world to me is that there’s still new construction happening in Miami. Talk about rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, like what the fuck are you people doing??? Miami (and really most of the state) should be starting a slow, permanent evacuation to safer territory.

    "I am US Economy Guy, and this, is my economy. She has a GDP of 7680.13 billion dollars and kills cheap, expendable labourers at 400 workers per day. It costs four 9/11s to maintain this economy, for one month."

    When your worker died because of Covid, you are surprise why the supply chain is fuck, which cause inflation, which cause recession and fuck every up. Except for the elite of course
