“The United States surpassed its record for single-day reported infections of the coronavirus Thursday, counting more than 88,900 cases, and pushing the total number of infections toward 9 million.
The country also tallied more than 1,000 deaths related to the virus for the second consecutive day. At least 228,000 fatalities have been linked to the virus since February.”
All part of the predicted Fall/Winter surge. The good news is that you are now more likely to survive a visit to the ICU for COVID-19 symptoms, as long as they have a bed open.
More testing than ever. Daily death toll far below the 2000 a day average during April. I don’t wear a mask seeing that the death toll/% is so low. Less than 1/10th of 1%.
My state has more deaths this year due to car accidents.
Take some Vitamin D and Zinc daily just to be safe. Also wouldn't hurt to order some chewable vitamin C along with Quercetin from amazon and take both if you feel symptoms.
"Fruits and vegetables are the primary dietary sources of quercetin, particularly citrus fruits, apples, onions, parsley, sage, tea, and red wine. Olive oil, grapes, dark cherries, and dark berries such as blueberries, blackberries, and bilberries are also high in quercetin and other flavonoids."
I would really, really love to see what the numbers would be if we tested for flu the way we do for Covid: if every person with a fever decided to go into a doctor and determine whether they did, indeed, have influenza.
I am NOT comparing the two or saying Covid is "just a bad flu", just making the point that if we tracked "cases" the same way, we would probably see similarities. Also saying that Covid isn't going anywhere, and that if we've found out enough about the virus to be able to treat patients to the point that the death rate is beginning to equal influenza deaths, then we need to get kids back in school and people back to work.

My state has a 6.4% death rate, so it seems to vary quite a bit (as of today, 151,741 total cases with 9.727 of those resulting in death).
And...many European countries also hit record counts on new cases this week.
