The number of deaths in the United States due to COVID-19 has now passed 675,000, more than the number of Americans who died during the 1918 influenza pandemic.

In Washington, D.C., a new temporary art installation named “In America: Remember,” commemorates the many Americans who have died of COVID-19 over the past year and a half.

Hundreds of thousands of small white flags were planted on 20 acres of the National Mall.

you are a typical average Nigerian. You try to sound smart but it is obvious you are direct opposite of smartness. U think America is like Nigeria where u can hire people to do your will. We only have to thank God that it wasn't serious in Nigeria.

God bless America...

The symbol of all nations until the Master comes

Really sad, may their souls rest on. Amen

New York Times , Washington post , CNN etc were making fun & disrespecting people who died due to COVID in India by publishing pics of their last rites and denying them the basic courtesy of privacy to those in mourning

Karma is a bitch

Covid really wreak havoc

So much.... Just lucky here.

They could have avoided this many death if they encouraged early and use of ivermectin. Rather, they will tell people to go home and wait and see. They also made it so difficult for people to have access to ivermectin.

Edited: someone came after me with all the fallacies he could use.

Sluacoast:

Trump supporter spotted. How'd you encourage humans to make use of ivermectin. Ivermectin can only be use by horses and maybe dogs to treat them. This is the reason why there's so many death in America. Millions of republicans Americans are refusing to take the vaccine. Thank goodness for the new policy. If you refuse to take the vaccine, you're at a verge of loosing your job etc.

rottennaija:


First of all, I don't know what you mean by Trump supporter spotted. It's a very foolish way to being an argument and the foolishness seen by your subsequent message that ivermectin can only be used by horses. Goosh. Are you people that so deceived that you hardly make any research?

Let me tell you, it seems you are ill informed. There is ivermectin for humans. I'm guessing you never knew. It comes in 3mg, 6mg and rarely 12mg. We use it here in Nigeria. India uses it as an early treatment and home covid19 kits. Make your research, you will see that countries that uses ivermectin has the lowest death rate. I mean, don't you people make any research?

The only reasons your Americans turned to a horse version of ivermectin is because your govt made sure ivermectin for humans are removed from stores, so people don't get access to it. But Ivermectin is absolutely so good especially when given early and in the right dosage.

Here in nigeria, I don't lack ivermectin. I make sure I buy them and have it around me, especially when I feel I have exposed myself.

And by the way, I don't support Trump. I never did and never will.

Covid swept through my family but I was the only one untouched. It's still a miracle. We watched helplessly as life was fading from my dad. Since I was born, till this my age, the worst illness my dad has ever had is catarrh and the occasional mild malaria. But this Covid? You see this Covid?? The baba could not even dress himself. He was beginning to mumble words like someone having a bad case of dementia. My heart broke to see this strong, handsome man reduced to this state. It started with strong, persistent cough that lasted almost more than a month, then flu, then severe malaria, then loss of smell and taste, weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath etc.

He recovered when we bombarded him with a mixture of garlic, ginger and Vitamin C. Prior to that all the drugs we were using on him failed to work. The day I knew my father was back was when he told me after I wore his slippers out to buy something "Pussy, there's something wrong with you. All is not well. How can you wear my slippers out??" Sweetest words, especially when you remember he couldn't string a comprehensible sentence together just barely a week ago.

All my other family members exhibited symptoms of Covid in various degrees, none as critical as my dad's (he is in his mid-60s) but they all recovered. Octopussy, stubborn geh was the only gallant individual. Unscathed

When it was time to get the vaccine because my company made it mandatory, when it got to my turn the network failed. I spent the whole day at the vaccine center but I was unable to be vaccinated. I kuku left and covered myself with the blood of Jesus.

That, and the nose mask suffices for now.

It's still a mystery how covid 19 killed millions of people in other continents but lost it's killing powers once it entered Africa.

Just imagine what Donald Trump's carelessness cost this beautiful country: over half a million American souls. Obviously, this was the major reason he lost his reelection bid. RIP to the dead. This will be hard for generations unborn to forget.

BTW, the United Nations laws (articles) must be amended in a way that countries that cause others huge losses through their inability to manage their diseases be heavily fined for their carelessness. China ought to pay for this madness.

This is an agenda-driven gross exaggeration.

How can almost 700,000 deaths be attributed to Covid-19 alone? This is a lie!

According to official U.S. data, Here's a breakdown of the mortality rates in the U.S. and causes. Check back to 2019, 2018, 2017, 2015,...,2000. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm

Noticed the death rate? All of a sudden, all of a sudden sudden most of those deaths became attributed to Covid from 2020 to drive the vaccination-driven agenda.

Even The Economist did a scathing piece last week about the inconsistencies of official Covid mortality rates.
There have also been verified recounts of underfunded care homes and health facilities being induced to ascribe deaths primarily to Covid for funding.

The Covid pandemic is on but the mortality is grossly exaggerated!
