COVID deaths staying high

Vaccines ... natural immunity.. and a whole lot of cases in the previous few weeks.. one would think COVID is just about over, right?

While politicians seem to be acting as though mitigation efforts and making policies never happened, quickly ditching those same policies as "the science changes," deaths are remaining stubbornly high..

The numbers from today:

COVID CASES USA
84,406 FEB 23 2022
71,913 FEB 23 2021

DEATHS
3,025 FEB 23 2022
2,328 FEB 23 2021


Beyond that, deaths are high: Covid-19 is killing more people now than during most of the pandemic!


The troubling facts: More than 2,000 Covid-19 deaths have been reported in the United States each day for the past month. Average daily deaths are falling, but from a very high point. They dipped just below that mark in recent days, to about 1,900 on Monday; the federal holiday may have delayed reporting...


While unvaccinated remain then highest danger category, it appears that vaccinated people have also seen an increase in COVID related deaths..

Meanwhile.. the fast spreading omicron-type variant is causing concern about recent un-lockdowns..
