US records 2,300 COVID-19 deaths as pandemic rises with holidays

The nation is seeing an alarming new rise in COVID-19 deaths that is following a spike in cases being recorded across the country, with the U.S. suffering 2,313 deaths on Wednesday, according to data collected by The New York Times.

The numbers are raising concerns that the United States could see deaths from COVID-19 rise the numbers initially seen in the spring, when the pandemic first hit the country.

The rise in deaths on Wednesday represented a 57 percent increase in the 14-day average, according to the Times.

The Washington Post reports the seven-day average of deaths is above 1,600. It recorded more than 2,200 deaths on Wednesday in its count, which it said was the highest single-day increase in deaths since May 6.

And deaths have been trailing hospitalizations by about 4 weeks, so the daily death count will keep rising. So, yeah, I think we're in for a very bleak winter.

... who said that nobody he knows has even gotten the virus, let alone died of it.
So... all those numbers are fake.

JHFC...we will NEVER get a handle on this thing. Those dumbshits won't take the vaccine... when or if it comes.
