The COVID-19 death toll in the US has passed 1 million

"When he passed away, it was like I lost a brother, a parent and a friend all at the same time," says Mr Almonte, 16 years younger than Mr Morales, who shared his love of books, video games and wrestling and worked for the city processing teachers' pensions.

Neil Lawyer, 84, was a short-term patient there, recovering after hospitalisation for an infection. When he died of COVID-19 on March 8, the coronavirus death toll in the US stood at 30. By late spring of 2020, the pandemic seemed to be loosening its grip — until governors moved to reopen their states and deaths spiralled again.Yolanda Bay stands next to a photo of her husband, Luis.

At Helen Keller Hospital in Sheffield, Alabama, staffers knew Ms McClung, a longtime dialysis nurse, as "Mama Jen." She took new nurses under her wing and on some nights, woke up crying with worry about her patients. "I can hear her laugh. I can hear her voice," Ms McClung's mother says. "I just can't touch her. It is the hardest thing in the world."Last September, as Sherman Peebles, a sheriff's deputy in Columbus, Georgia, lay in the hospital, the US toll topped 675,000, surpassing the number of Americans killed by the Spanish flu pandemic a century ago. He died the following day.

Population 332 million. One in every 332 people died from Corona. 75,000 Australians would have died if the same ratio occurred here. 8000 have died so far in Australia. Per head of population, Australia had approximately 10% of that which occurred in the USA. Why the disparity?

Thought Biden had all of the answers? He’s killed more people than he blamed Trump for!

Surely it’s more than that

The tragedy is compounded by the fact that, by mid-2021, a good number of those deaths were probably preventable.

🤡🤡🤡once again no proper information as to whether they died with or from covid. Sad nonetheless but sloppy reporting as always

No it hasn’t.

Is that from or with?

And yet we do nothing
