Americans Still Dying of Covid at High Rates

"For all the encouragement that American health leaders drew from other countries’ success in withstanding the Omicron surge, the outcomes in the U.S. have been markedly different. Hospital admissions in the U.S. swelled to much higher rates than in Western Europe, leaving some states struggling to provide care. Americans are now dying from Covid at nearly double the daily rate of Britons and four times the rate of Germans."

Even in recent weeks, some American deaths likely resulted from lengthy illnesses caused by Delta.

Not sure he did, but regardless, the direction has been to prevent Covid not solely focus on the consequences

Not all Americans. One third of Americans are dying at a high rate, and two thirds of Americans are dying at 5% of that rate.

Agreed but I suspect your higher math will confuse those too stupid to get a vaccination.

We've had three waves of COVID; the initial, Delta and Omicron. The data is there to see. Anyone who doesn't get a vax by now gets no sympathy from me.

The alt right is tired of being asked to try to work, and the rest of us are tired of asking them to work. We need them to just do what they will do, and leave the rest of us alone to rebuild America.
 
Hospitalizations have been plummeting since Jan 19, this pandemic is likely over, please find a new hobby.

Their leadership is not interested in anything less than "My way or the highway". That's how extremists roll.

What's Plan B?

We need to start thinking about how we can protect our healthcare workers from the alt right, both from alt right physical violence, but also from alt right failure to pay healthcare bills.

Snipers in the rooftops have proved to be effective. :thup:

Better mental health care and Trump Tents for the poorly educated would help solve those problems.

I do think the trump tents are a good idea. trump supporters can get some help, while not interfering with the running of the hospital. It seems like a win/win to me.

Actually, pro tRump and repuke areas have the highest covid deaths at being conned against abiding by the anti-mask, anti-vax and anti-mandate precautions:

Pro-Trump counties now have far higher COVID death rates. Misinformation is to blame

Since May 2021, people living in counties that voted heavily for Donald Trump during the last presidential election have been nearly three times as likely to die from COVID-19 as those who live in areas that went for now-President Biden. That's according to a new analysis by NPR that examines how political polarization and misinformation are driving a significant share of the deaths in the pandemic.

NPR looked at deaths per 100,000 people in roughly 3,000 counties across the U.S. from May 2021, the point at which vaccinations widely became available. People living in counties that went 60% or higher for Trump in November 2020 had 2.73 times the death rates of those that went for Biden. Counties with an even higher share of the vote for Trump saw higher COVID-19 mortality rates.

In October, the reddest tenth of the country saw death rates that were six times higher than the bluest tenth, according to Charles Gaba, an independent health care analyst who's been tracking partisanship trends during the pandemic and helped to review NPR's methodology. Those numbers have dropped slightly in recent weeks, Gaba says: "It's back down to around 5.5 times higher."

There are maybe over 100,000 who died of COVID because they were poorly treated at the insistence The Swamp and medical bureaucrats, and because Doctors all to often betrayed their oaths by complying.

Maybe that is a mass atrocity.

Could it have been the anti-science political leadership (Republicans), or the uneducated elements of our society(Republicans) that let us down?
