COVID-19 deaths long ago rocketed past annual suicides , common flu , diabetes and Alzheimer's disease and is fast coming up on strokes . Those are the U.S. figures for an average year. The virus has done its damage in less than half that time.
Marvin says such isolated revelations won't pierce the"echo chamber that is conservative radio and TV, which, if you listen to it often as I do, argues that no one is sick, the numbers are made up and the testing is corrupt."that"you can't believe the virus numbers" and that they are being trumpeted only to harm the president's chances for reelection in November.
The spike in virus cases is probably the result of a variety of factors. These include the arrival of summer’s heat and a desire to resume normal activities and a general misconception by younger Americans that they were not at risk of contracting COVID-19. Someone who has the virus but isn't sick and doesn't show symptoms can transmit it to more vulnerable groups.
