    Why are more than 300 people in the US still dying from COVID every week?

    Why are more than 300 people in the US still dying from COVID every week?

    More than five years after the first cases of COVID-19 were detected in the United States, hundreds of people are still dying every week.

    Last month, an average of about 350 people died each week from COVID, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

    While high, the number of deaths is decreasing and is lower than the peak of 25,974 deaths recorded the week ending Jan. 9, 2021, as well as weekly deaths seen in previous spring months, CDC data shows.

    Public health experts told ABC News that although the U.S. is in a much better place than it was a few years ago, COVID is still a threat to high-risk groups...

    The experts said there are a few reasons why people might still be dying from the virus, including low vaccination uptake, waning immunity and not enough people accessing treatments...
    As I noted with some health employees VERY early, given that it's closely related to the flu, it was going to be interesting to see if the so-called 'vaccine' was going to be a true vaccine or more akin to 'flu shots.' At this point, we have our answer to that, with the added bonus of all the things coming out about the inherent risks for many who were 'forced' to make a choice between taking them and risking livelihoods and lifestyles. Waning immunity? I think the more proper terminology would be decreased resistance due to mutations in the virus. Insofar as treatments, the issues remain the same...

    ...Moody said it's possible some COVID patients are coming down with symptoms but are not going to the doctor until their symptoms become severe. Alternatively, some people are not undergoing COVID testing when they have symptoms and, therefore, are missing COVID diagnoses...
    When you have to be tested to determine if you have COVID and the tests are, at best, a marginally reliable indicator, then 'treatments' which are intended to be given 'early' as more of a 'preventive' aren't going to be all that effective. Which, of course, brings up the same question... Are they intended as actual 'treatments' or as something else?

    In short, there are still those in the media using the whispered "Get Vaccinated" as their mantra; but, aren't exactly whispering it. As I've said a number of times before, whatever your choice in relation to the shots/boosters, other preventive measures, and how you treat it when you get it is up to you and not necessarily the province of Government or Business to demand/enforce.​

      It’s simple. It’s a respiratory affliction and some people are more sensitive to the virus. And the vaccine doesn’t work.

      And it’s nothing to be concerned about. Every week the flu kills nearly 700. Tobacco causes over 9000 per week. Alcohol causes over 3400 deaths per week in the USA.

      Covid isn’t worth worrying about. Media hype is what made Covid, not the virus itself.

          Liberal media and liberal doctors: dying with COVID = dying from COVID.

            I had an old guy approach me in Safeway once when I wasn’t masked during the peak of the craziness. I was set to go off on him as I figured he was going to give me crap about not wearing a mask. Turned out he wanted to compliment me on my T shirt. It was one of the Collings Foundation shirts with a B-17 on it. We had a nice conversation.

              I give some people a little leeway when it comes to masks. During the height of the 'scare,' there was an old guy going around the grocery store wearing a mask even though it wasn't yet mandated. I gave him some space while young people where impatiently growling that he should 'hurry up' and pressing in on him. He wasn't demanding anything. He was just slowed down by accumulated 'experience.'

              I don't give some people much, if any leeway when it comes to them demanding masks. During the height of the 'scare,' there was a woman in a grocery store which had VERY few customers roaming around. Masks were not yet mandated, but she was mouthing off about those of us (almost everyone) not wearing masks. She was wearing one and, as it turned out, her argument was that she was undergoing treatment for cancer. As she started in again waiting in line, I had enough and told her that she had other options besides coming to the grocery store personally and that her issue wasn't so much with COVID, but with a suppressed immune system, which left her vulnerable to a whole lot more than COVID.

              The bottom line is if you go about your business, take what precautions for you that you feel are 'necessary,' but don't demand others abide you, I'll give you some 'space.' On the other hand, if you demand everyone else accommodate you, forcing others to give up things involuntarily, then I have a problem and you're likely to hear about it if you push.

                Pretty much my point of view.

                  I was kicked out of BevMo for not wearing a mask. Needless to say I will never buy from that company ever again.

                  TotalWine never cared so it gets my business. My local Albertsons never cared so I spend as much money as I can there.

                  One time at Albertsons an old guy told me that I forgot my mask. I said that’s ok. He said it’s not. I walked away.

                    Absolute overabundance of caution over a fakedemic.

                    Still see the occasional Face diaper wearing Covid freaker.

                    Covid vax will never be mandated again

                          My favorite part during all the b.s was how many did not die from the flu. Weird.

                              Yes, us seniors here in Utah did NOT wear face diapers at the outset because we didn't fear a simple flu like wave.It was the stupid much younger individuals and Karens. We refused to cower in place...

                              Only when businesses/workplaces/schools were ordered to mandate it otherwise no admittance.
