"'COVID is over' might trend within social media circles, but weekly U.S. death tolls tell a different story.
In July, more than 12,500 Americans died of COVID-19, according to a USA TODAY analysis of Johns Hopkins University data.
'We’re sitting on this horrible plateau,' said Dr. Daniel Griffin, an infectious disease specialist with Pro Health Care in New York. 'It’s been this way for the past couple of months, and we’re getting used to it.'"

"If you aren’t up-to-date on your Covid vaccines or booster shots, Dr. Anthony Fauci has a stark warning for you: Get those doses now, or prepare for a harsh Covid fall and winter.
'If they don’t get vaccinated or they don’t get boosted, they’re going to get into trouble,' Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical adviser, told Los Angeles radio station KNX News 97.1′s 'KNX In Depth' on Tuesday.
That applies to a clear majority of Americans. Nearly 228 million, or roughly 70%, of Americans were unvaccinated, hadn’t completed their primary vaccine series or hadn’t gotten their first booster dose as of July 21, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation."
Americans continue to ignore these warnings at their own peril.
