USA half million excess deaths likely caused by SARS2



As the United States seems to be embroiled in a civil war, the COVID-19 pandemic, arguably weaponized by Donald Trump against his political opponent’s voters, has run out of control.

New daily cases have topped 200,000 and hospitalization in intensive care units exceeds 23000 over the past two weeks according to US official statistics. Hospitalizations today were at 748,277 at 24:00 GMT.

The worst has yet to come, say statisticians as America has yet to feel the impact of Christmas get-togethers and millions of Americans traveling despite warnings to stay home.

Several elected US officials have tested positive for COVID-19 after being crammed into a bunker-like environment in the US Capitol Building while it faced a Trump-led insurrection. The event has been deemed a super spreader after five hours when hundreds were crammed into a confined space under a security lock-down, where Republicans with contempt for all others, refused to wear a mask.

Some persons impacted by the superspreader lockdown on 6 January are deathly ill, according to family members who wish to keep their matter anonymous at this time pending outcome of current treatments.
