For Those Who Think The Pandemic is Over

These shocking statistics come from the 8/24/21 edition of USA Today's Coronavirus Watch newsletter:

"America's delta-driven surge of COVID-19 has entered a deadlier phase.

Deaths are now increasing in 43 states — the worst tally since December, before America's deadliest month of the pandemic, a USA TODAY analysis of Johns Hopkins University data shows.

U.S. deaths in the week ending Monday totaled 7,225. At that pace, America experiences the loss of a Pearl Harbor attack three times a week, or the human cost of a 9/11 attack every three days."
