Coronavirus deaths in the U.S. hit another one-day high on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2021, at over 4,300 with the country’s attention focused largely on the fallout from the deadly uprising at the Capitol.
Coronavirus deaths in the U.S. hit another one-day high at over 4,300 with the country’s attention focused largely on the fallout from the deadly uprising at the Capitol. The nation’s overall death toll from COVID-19 has eclipsed 380,000, according to Johns Hopkins University, and is closing in fast on the number of Americans killed in World War II, or about 407,000. Confirmed infections have topped 22.8 million.
With the country simultaneously facing a political crisis and on edge over threats of more violence from far-right extremists, the U.S. recorded 4,327 deaths on Tuesday by Johns Hopkins’ count. Arizona and California have been among the hardest-hit states.The daily figure is subject to revision, but deaths have been rising sharply over the past 2 1/2 months, and the country is now in the most lethal phase of the outbreak yet, even as the vaccine is being rolled out.
Absolutely ridiculous to compare death numbers from a global pandemic to wars or terrorists attacks.
Why no focus on cases anymore?
The population of the United States is over 300 million people.

Johnson and Johnson, a family company. Free paint in every injection Uh, as long as this isn’t where the Astra Zenica vaccine sent to Canada came from. Says “no vaccine produced there was distributed in the US” so... I bet they found some nails that weren’t properly driven into 2X4s also.
