India's Covid Cases Rise Over 1,200% In A Week. What's Driving The Surge
Post-COVID 19 'excess mortality' rates could remain high for another decade
“Based on current medical trends and expected advancements, we conclude that COVID is still driving excess mortality both directly and indirectly.”
“A recent Swiss Re Research Institute report concluded that excess mortality is likely to persist for as long as another decade.”
COVID-19 Disease Burden Remains Greater Than Influenza, Study Shows
“Researchers in Denmark conducted a large-scale evaluation of the disease burdens associated with COVID-19 and influenza. Their conclusion? COVID-19 has a greater impact than influenza, resulting in more hospitalizations and deaths. These findings, they note, emphasize the continued need for a strong public health response.”
New COVID-19 Variant NB.1.8.1 Causes Surge In China, Spreading In U.S.
“Remember COVID-19? That thing that’s killed around 350 people a week in the U.S. over the past month and continues to leave more and more people with long Covid? Remember the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 that’s still spreading, mutating, “varianting” and “subvarianting” and causing COVID-19? Well, nota bene or N.B., there’s a new variant of the SARS-CoV-2 in town. It is called the NB.1.8.1 variant, has been causing COVID-19 surges in China, Hong King and Taiwan and is now spreading in the U.S.”
COVID is back in a big way: Over 350 people are dying from the coronavirus in the U.S. each week, says CDC data
COVID is still around, and it is still deadly for a lot of Americans. The CDC says that the virus is killing multitudes in the U.S. each week, even though there are vaccines and treatments available.
Why are more than 300 people in the US still dying from COVID every week?
This is a vast undercount, not counting post-acute infection deaths from cardiac arrests, heart attacks and strokes. It does not count immune system damage, brain damage or new onset diabetes. It doesn’t count sudden hearing loss or early dementia. But even using this number, acute covid infections are causing 1200+ deaths per month, more than breast cancer or car crashes.

“For me, Joe Biden's legacy will forever be his capitulation to corporate interests on COVID-19, and the dismantling of protections and precautions against it.

COVID’s long-term effects on organs and immunity are likely culprits, but reduced healthcare access, delayed diagnoses, and societal neglect of public health measures also play a role. Official stats often undercount COVID-related deaths, blaming other conditions instead.”
