905 Americans were killed by C0VlD last week. It’s the first time in 30 weeks with fewer than 1000 deaths. It’s the 38th straight week with 500+ deaths. 25,000+ deaths in 2024.

It is not normal or acceptable for this much easily preventable death.

Newer parents who had kids in 2020 and later don’t understand that their kids aren’t supposed to be as sick this often. And unfortunately, this “new normal” sits “comfortably” with all the other societal denial.

This is what endemic SARS-CoV-2 infections in those aged 18-44 years old look like

Eight hundred new deaths a month, every month, forever

NYC reported 2 more pediatric covid deaths today. 💔

That brings our total to 60 deaths.

5 since the start of 2024. 10 in the last year.

A lot of people don’t even know covid can kill children. And many of the people making public health decisions don’t care that it does.

Nothing to see here. The people in charge of building, fixing, inspecting and maintaining your planes all have brain damage too. Don’t live in fear.

Look, this would have been a mild collision. Airline pilots with severe brain damage is endemic and there’s nothing we can do about it.

I post the weekly death toll b/c we can’t let this go. It’s not sustainable. It’s not just the mass death. This is an indicator of how prevalent this disease still is. It shows how many are still suffering. I desperately want this to end and to not have to post about it anymore.

During this current period of “low” C0VlD transmission, it is estimated there will be 400,000-600,000 daily new C0VlD infections in the U.S.

With 1-in-5 infections resulting in L0NG C0VlD…

That means 80,000-120,000 Americans will go on to have L0NG C0VlD every day.
