Day 593.
Welcome to Day 593 of the COVID 19 pandemic.
The official US death toll is now higher than the "Spanish Flu" pandemic of 1918.
The end of 1918 Pandemic: 675,000 US deaths over 760 days = average 888 US deaths per day
Day 593 of 2020 Pandemic: 676,000 US deaths over 593 days = average 1140 US deaths per day
And counting.
...and not counting a bunch other "Excess deaths" above the average yearly death which includes countless instances of COVID not being counted, and the people dying of entirely unrelated things because there are no hospital beds.
edit: Oh look, my scheduled post was accurate.
