Another disastrous day for COVID in the United States.
203,737 new cases were recorded along with 2,833 deaths.
Medical experts predicted that we would see 200,000 new infections a day and 3,000 deaths a day this week. We are very close to those predicted numbers. The CDC warned of over 200,000 more deaths by February and we are in the worst period of the pandemic since it began. Yet, we have idiots who refuse to lockdown, wear masks or stay home. That's why more people are going to get sick and die when they don't need to.
Texas had another day of 200+ deaths and recorded the most new infections with 19,195.
Indiana and Ohio had another day of 100+ deaths setting new records.
South Dakota registered 47 new deaths and is the worst place for COVID in the world. That's because they have a Trump stooge as Governor, Kristi Noem, that has never locked down, mandated masks, or required non essential businesses to close. She claims doing that will "destroy" small businesses. Well a husband and wife shop owners both died from COVID so their business is gone forever. Again, if they closed up and locked down they still would be alive and have their business. You can't get through to stupid idiots so they will have to suffer the consequences.
New York had 74 deaths and Oregon had 17 so effective leadership and orders are helping to slow the spread and keep the death total down.
We are already at 14,314,265 infections and 279,867 deaths
Back in July had 3.3 million cases and opening up exploded the total.
