U.S. reaches 500,000 deaths from the coronavirus

. California, the most populous state, has been hit particularly hard: 3,527,641 confirmed cases and 49,110 deaths as of Sunday.though. The number fell below 100,000 on Feb. 12 for the first time in months.

Family and friends attend the funeral of Humberto Rosales, who died from Covid-19 complications, at Memorial Pines Cemetery in Santa Teresa, N.M., on Dec. 3, 2020.However, public health experts and top government officials have said that precautions must remain in place to slow the spread of the virus.

"We are still at about 100,000 cases a day. We are still at around 1,500 to 3,500 deaths per day. The cases are more than two-and-a-half-fold times what we saw over the summer," Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said on NBC's"Meet the Press" on Sunday.

"It's encouraging to see these trends coming down, but they're coming down from an extraordinarily high place," Walensky added.Daniel Arkin is a reporter for NBC News who focuses on popular culture and the entertainment industry, particularly film and television.

Well, wearing a mask for 100 days doesn’t sound like it’s working, Mr. Sleepy Joe.

WillieGeist But WillieGeist will probably tell us again this morning that by an large teachers are fine and don’t deserve vaccinations- this is JoeMSNBC latest passion- ignore the 200 dead teachers, dead within a week of being forced back to work

Thanks a lot Trump!

WillieGeist Thank you Mr. Trump.

Flags should be at half mass for those died of Covid not an idiot like Rush Limbaugh

Trump’s fault, right? 😂😂😂

Tom_Winter Tell Trump & Co. We all foresaw this grim milestone.

ellisonbarber prayers for the dead and their families/friends...

Thanks Biden

WillieGeist Every death President Trump fault!! TrumpTreason

On you Trump

At least the flu is nonexistent!

In a country where health care is more concerned about profits over lives?

COVID-19 DEATHS Credit: Trump, Jared and Ivanka Some people call this manslaughter.

ericgarland my guess with all the ding states and fudge numbers that it happened awhile ago. it was probably V Day.

surpasses 500,000 😩

ericgarland GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPComplicitTraitors COVID19

ericgarland The Department of Justice must investigate the trump administration’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis. NegligentHomicide

😢

That’s .15% ...so we,re all scared because of a fifteen cent cost in a year.

WillieGeist 500K is a significant undercount:

100,000 I. Biden’s first month! Epic failure cheater

TrumpOwnsEveryDeath

ericgarland Sad stat

Biden killed 100,000 people in one month.

ellisonbarber Or not, since CDC/Fauci/Birx et al said they were going to inflation the number in April 2020.

Still a long way to go to reach 1%. But I know three that have died from it for no apparent reason. Modern medicine isn't magic.

WillieGeist I do believe the worst is over, as warmer weather will help, few more rough weeks.

Trumpvirus 😷

Guys, This spreads mainly via aerosols in dry, indoor air. Things that can help: 1. KF94 2. Crack 🪟 3. Prop 🚪 (if own a shop) 4. Merv13/Hepa 5. 40-60% humidity 6. CO2 sensors: aim 600 ppm Sources in my timeline

To bad people didn’t give a rats ass . When I set these tweets out . This one I sent to Trump the other I said to China. Try looking at the dates on them . Then watch this summer. Once again you have been warned.

God bless the HALF A MILLION souls - may their memories be a blessing.

WillieGeist This is a very sad milestone for America 😪😪

This is our legacy

Yet ball game bullshit carrys on government still half clueless to busy worrying about Trump

I honest to God hold Donald Trump responsible for MANY of our 500K fellow dead Americans due to his denial of reality. His legacy includes a body count. And yet he somehow maintains a large amount of support. America is sick and dying in many ways. 😔

The Lancet Commission published report on Trump's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic estimates his ineptness and neglect has accounted for 40% of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. At 500,000+ now, that's 200,000 attributed deaths.

Sigh... Days like this I really could do without newz like that.

Holy crap NBC news staffers, a much as you guys get paid you'd think you could at least get the numbers right! We actually hit a half-million a couple of days ago! Its a tad bit more than that now...

I can kill 500,000 people and they’d still vote for me, Donald Trump.

I thought Biden had a day 1 plan to end this thing?

600K plus souls were lost during the entire span of time defining the American CivilWar! 600K lives LOST in 1 year! The Civil War was several years of a bizarre level of infanticide. Infanticide bcoz we were killing our future & the proof is today’s polarized mess. COVID19

Well at least other causes of death are way down

Where is “the plan”?

thanks president biden! thought you said you'd stop it cold once you became president

Leaders of the Free World, best healthcare in the world yet, richest country in the world, yet total failure.

Wow it’s crazy to think how many people have died since Joe Biden took office. It’s almost as if you can’t blame a pandemic on a single person at all because that would be Borat level retarded.

Almost about to catch up with Cigarette and Alcohol Deaths Annually that the Government collects $60 Billion Dollars in taxes from Annually. Think about it.

BREAKING: This person should be in prison for crimes against humanity. Where are the international courts on Donald Trump? 👇🏽IntlCrimCourt

100k have been from Biden in this short time. He is terrible and had no plan

100k of which occurred during Biden’s first 30 days.

National tragedy could have been mitigated. To be clear the Obama administration had protocols in place to deal with a pandemic, I think we all know why the Trump administration canceled those protocol.

MattTalhelm All thanks to Trump.

Thanks Biden!

Imagine going to bed every night and waking up every morning thinking about Donald Trump... I feel so so sorry for all of you. That would be so terrible.

Yet I know not a single person who died from it 🤔

Thanks Trump!

How many of these people would still be alive if Trump had done his job? Safe assumption: more than half. How many people would not have died if Trump did just one thing different and fully supported mask wearing? Vast majority. Tragedy of proportions too big to truly grasp.

500,000 of us.

Get well soon USA ! I really want to visit family & friends again soon, eh ?

Bidens america

😔😔😔

Jordan Fan范楚漳Prophet of Environment環境先知: Yes countless number of illegal “aliens” or criminal immigrants. And Joseph Biden are supporting them with everything come out of all budgets. Impeach Biden!! via NewYorker

thanks a lot Joe Biden for not locking us back down...

The number would be a lot higher if states hadn't locked down. I know people feel their rights were violated but in reality just may be their lives were saved.

An example of media fact-checking:

Biden's America.

More then V. War

Way to go Joe Biden

🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

All because of him TrumpVirus

Are we great again yet?

Good job Biden

Yet the tragic landmark will occur with the White House loath to predict when the crisis may ease as it balances critical political and epidemiological risks. StCollinson Damn, 500k on Biden's watch. That's horrible. Wasn't he going to stop all of the deaths with his vaccine plan? Oh wait, that's right, he doesn't have a plan. StCollinson So sad. Those deaths could have been prevented if Donald Trump handled it properly. Instead of calling the virus a hoax and downplaying the symptoms. He encourages super spreaders 🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 StCollinson

U.S. :'Ok but what's in it for us? ' What do you think is less disastrous to give these army people a rope to hang themselves than assume UN mobilizes forces to bulldoze change you are crying for?
