    Default The True Coronavirus Toll in the U.S. Has Already Surpassed 200,000

    I believe the Trump administration is fudging the numbers on coronavirus deaths?!! It's well over 200,000 deaths now, and probably has been for some time now too?!!

    Across the United States, at least 200,000 more people have died than usual since March, according to a New York Times analysis of estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is about 60,000 higher than the number of deaths that have been directly linked to the coronavirus.

    As the pandemic has moved south and west from its epicenter in New York City, so have the unusual patterns in deaths from all causes. That suggests that the official death counts may be substantially underestimating the overall effects of the virus, as people die from the virus as well as by other causes linked to the pandemic.

    When the coronavirus took hold in the United States in March, the bulk of deaths above normal levels, or “excess deaths,” were in the Northeast, as New York and New Jersey saw huge surges.

    The Northeast still makes up nearly half of all excess deaths in the country, though numbers in the region have drastically declined since the peak in April.

    But as the number of hot spots expanded, so has the number of excess deaths across other parts of the country. Many of the recent coronavirus cases and deaths in the South and the West may have been driven largely by reopenings and relaxed social distancing restrictions.

    Trump was asked if he was concerned about the lack of distancing at his rallies.

    He said he's not worried because he is up on stage and well distanced from others.

    You're assertion that BLM is causing covid deaths is incorrect

    Yep, people horrified and insulted by generations of police abuse and deaths at their hands. Cops can end this in a week. Just quit abusing citizens.

    If you support the BLM organization, well, yes, indeed, you're part of the problem....especially if you think this is only a law enforcement issue....
