As covid drags on, with debates raging about masks/schools and vaccines, it's easy to lose sight of how things really stand. That's why this statistic surprised me:
US covid deaths are averaging 1500 a day. Remember 9/11? That much-lamented death toll is now happening every 2 days in the US.
At the peak, the US was almost doubling the WTC death toll daily. I'm lucky to be living in Maryland. We're averaging maybe ten deaths a day and we're about an average state population wise. Yes, it's bad, but it could be a lot worse.
