The US has seen 21,378 #COVID19 deaths already in 2023, per the CDC.

That is 7x more than were killed on 9/11.

It's more than the number of gun homicides in all of 2020: 19,384

It's almost as much as the gun suicides in 2020: 24,292. We'll surpass that next week.

In just six weeks, COVID has caused half the number of deaths as caused by traffic fatalities in an entire year: 42,915 per the NHTSA

Tell me again how COVID is “over” and those in masks are unnecessarily fearful.

@augieray Yet 60% of low wages workers still don’t have a single paid sick day.
These “essential workers” often have lots of public contact and little energy to focus on anything other than making ends meet.
A few free home #covid tests isn’t a rational public health policy, it’s a cynical sociopathic joke
