@jnl I would not have guessed that in 2023 it's still 1453 average weekly deaths for #Covid19US, while fentanyl claimed 1437 average weekly deaths, and firearms "only" 900 average weekly deaths. Media reporting makes it seem the other way around.

🇺🇸US: As COVID-19 infection numbers top 1 million a day, the CDC promotes a campaign against public health.
"So far this year, more than 26,000 Americans have died from acute COVID-19 complications, and more than 800 per week are being killed by a preventable infection, a figure 20 percent higher than last year this time. At the current rate, it is expected that between 50,000 to 60,000 Americans will die from COVID-19 in 2024, a rate two to three times higher than fatalities from flu."
"This begs the question how are those most vulnerable, such as the elderly, immunocompromised, and those with chronic disabling medical conditions, which represent a significant portion of the population, to protect themselves from perpetual mass infection?"
CDC Director Dr Cohen acknowledged, "COVID is with us," but tried unconvincingly to reassure that "we have the tools to protect ourselves." She added, as a way of shifting the blame, “We just need to use them!”

🇺🇸 US: The US is experiencing its largest summer Covid wave in at least 2 years.
"The CDC’s measure of national Covid viral activity in wastewater rose to 8.82 on August 10 – falling shy of a peak of 9.56 in July 2022."
"The rise in cases is being driven by waning immunity in the population and a trio of new variants that have drifted enough from their parent virus, JN.1, to escape the ability of our antibodies to quickly neutralize them."
"The best thing people can do as far as their own personal risk is to get that vaccine when it does become available, Hotez said."
“Next, of course, is a good N95 or KN95 mask when you are in crowded indoor areas,” Hotez said, and seek out the antiviral medication Paxlovid if you test positive. For that reason, it’s also a good idea to stock up on Covid-19 tests to identify whether any coughs or runny noses are being caused by the coronavirus."
