U.S. surpasses 400,000 deaths from COVID-19

That's more than the number of Americans who died in World War I, Vietnam War and the Korean War combined, and nearly as many Americans who died in World War II. It's far higher than any other country's COVID-19 death toll.

All of this comes almost a year after the first COVID-19 case was confirmed in the U.S. And it comes after brutal surges in recent weeks, during which the U.S. saw hundreds of thousands of new cases daily and hospitalization and daily deaths hit all-time highs. For one, even with the apparent improvement, the country still averaged about 207,900 new cases daily in the past seven days.

That variant, known as B.1.1.7, has been imported to the U.S. multiple times, and it might have been "established in the U.S. for some 5-6 weeks before was identified as a variant of concern in the U.K. in mid-December," University of Arizona biologist Michael Worobey wrote late Monday on a website dedicated to sharing genetic information about the virus.

That's more than 12 million doses administered, out of the more than 31 million doses that have been delivered, according to the CDC. New York City is on pace to run out of vaccines by Thursday if the state doesn't receive more doses, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday.HOW OTHER STATES ARE TRYING TO RAMP UP VACCINATIONSIn Wisconsin, Gov. Tony Evers was at the opening of a new COVID-19 vaccination site Monday at the Prevea Health/University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Kress Events Center.

Still not enough deaths for the American people to take this virus serious enough. I had predicted that the American people would start to take it serious when the death toll reaches 500k, 100k to go. If 500k doesn't make people take notice then they truly must be inbred.
