COVID-19 Death Toll Continues To Rise in the United States
COVID-19 Death Toll , Continues To Rise in the United States.
CNN reports that with case counts dwindling
and some states rolling back pandemic safety restrictions, it appears the United States is moving toward normalcy.
Still, the loss of American lives is currently higher than it has been for most of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to CNN, more than 2,000 Americans have died each day in the past month.
Per Johns Hopkins University data, preceding Omicron, there were only about 100 other days the U.S. had more daily deaths than that.
Now, the United States is experiencing
a rate of death not seen since the
early days of the pandemic surge.
Since the onset of the Omicron variant, COVID-19 has taken the lives
of more than 120,000 Americans.
Thus far, in 2022, the coronavirus pandemic
is responsible for over 1 in 5 deaths.
Experts say the overwhelming
amount of American lives lost is
among the unvaccinated.
I’ve long since lost track of the number of people I’ve seen die
of the disease, but the reality is that almost everybody who is critically ill, in the ICU or dying
now remains unvaccinated.
, Dr. Stephen Threlkeld, medical director of the infectious diseases program
at Baptist Memorial Health Care, Memphis, TN, via CNN.
That has been true since
the beginning.
But in the beginning, people didn’t
have the opportunity
to be vaccinated.
