'The notion of just learning to live with it is not an acceptable policy or strategy, in my opinion,' one expert told NBC News.

In fact, there have been more Covid-19 deaths in less than a year in the U.S. than the past five influenza seasons combined.

"That is not an acceptable outcome," Saag said."That screams to me that I should be doing something about that." Clinical trials for Covid-19 vaccines are still ongoing. The entire population remains largely at risk because there is no immunity to such a new virus. "Even if the vaccine isn't a perfect match for the flu strain, it still does protect you. Ten years from now, Covid might be like the flu, when we have vaccines and the majority of the population is immune to it," she added.

The rally that trump had where his face was melting could have been a symptom of covid 19. I think trump has been spreading the virus for awhile.

DillardVicki There data is rigged VICKI THEY ALREADY TOLD US THE REAL. NUMBERS DONT REGURJITATE THE FAKE NEWS

Usually we don't include cancer & poisoning deaths in flu numbers, I'm assuming

Hard to take this seriously when you call every death a Covid death even if someone’s jumps off a bridge, just saying.

BS

Come on now.

Unconscionable attempt at minimizing the deadly virus that killed three of my loved ones.

Wondering why Trump “asked for Regeneron”...He has stock in the company. Also, why is a Republican who supported ban on fetal tissue and stem cell research investing in and promoting a product that uses fetal tissue?

Oh you mean the death certificate said died from covid but actually died of some other comorbility lets get the truthful count please

Ppl who have fucked up brains will believe info provided by trump. They will only believe the science when they lay in their coffin.

states have been caught lying about the numbers...sooo theres that

Ya well what can you expect from the world leader in Bulls**t news outlet. They never have been able to tell the truth to the American people.

No, there has not, fake news.

What a horrendous failure the trnnpp administration has been in all areas. It is there legacy. Their callous attitude in belittling the AmericanPeoples health and welfare

That's because of false reporting of COVID deaths. People with pre-existing conditions that COVID complicated resulting in their death were listed as COVID deaths. Some were corrected but many are still being counted. FakeNews

Ronda524 “Just a bad flu” 🙄

I’d like to see the number difference between “dying of” and “dying with” Covid-19.

And yet the Trump in the White House continues to lie about it TrumpLiedPeopleDied

I guess that means Covid is deadly. Thanks for pointing that out NBC. You guys are truly genius at getting to the bottom of things. I think I will scroll now.

You know the Democrat states like New York states added the most to it. It took a few months and it is under control

Well that’s a lie

That he is. Morally reprehensible.

CDC says COViD is airborne. Medical mask according to all research and CDC cannot stop small particles and airborne illnesses. You need a fitted n95 and goggles. We have been treating patients in negative pressure rooms with n95 and goggles. Biden is an idiot
