Coronavirus will probably hit a million US deaths today

[Quixote1818]

It sits at 999,824 currently and there were over 700 deaths yesterday. Not sure how official worldometer is?

1. I'm sure that mark has already been exceeded.

Worldometer, as many of the information compilers has been observably compromised by the tinkering that "Official Dashboards" from the various states have inflicted on the data. I think the Million mark was reached and exceeded days or even weeks ago.

On that subject, here's a memorial piece I found for just that number:

2. Jan 20, 2020 was I think the first confirmed case in the US

A million dead, at least. So so sad.

Yep January 20th.

4. The true number will never be known.

Many states have stopped counting new cases and deaths.

Ohio stopped counting new cases and deaths last week.

I checked everyday and noticed last week that Ohio had stopped counting new cases and deaths.

Many states had stopped quite awhile before that.

Sadly there are many people in the U.S. that seem to accept and don't care how many have died.

5. Even during the "Main Event", when numbers were being watched by everyone

folks like myself who have a background in working with exponential functions could tell readily from the numbers themselves that they were being doctored. Probably too much information to post here, but suffice to say that things HAD to be worse than reported.

6. I think that happened a long while back, in real life.

At least half of COVID deaths were never reported as such, due to them being MAGATS, or having MAGAT coroners, or MAGAT state agencies.
