One year after he was diagnosed with coronary virus infection, how many deaths from covid-19?

It is now a year or so since 12 haircuts have been lost since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Covid-19 pandemic to be a pandemic. And oh bleep what a year it has been.

As I covered a year ago for Forbes, 11 March 2020, the day the WHO officially confirmed that the transmission of acute respiratory coronavirus syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV2) was occurring at the same time worldwide. In fact, this confirmation was as amazing as a wedding from the reality TV show Am Bachelor falling apart. Ever since the WHO launched the Covid-19 coronavirus revolution as an International Public Health Emergency (PHEIC) on 30 January 2020, the virus has continued to spread from country to country. When countries like the US have not taken an infectious virus like the SARS-CoV2 very seriously and have not used aggressive measures to keep the virus in, take a hard look at what happened. The virus continued to spread. And spread and spread. By the end of February, it appeared that it was only a matter of time before epilepsy came.

Certainly things did not improve in the US after 11 March 2020. Some countries such as South Korea, Taiwan, and New Zealand put in place organized, coordinated, science-based national responses to control on the spread of the virus. At the same time, the U.S. response was about being as consistent as relationships on the reality TV show Island Temptation. Leaders of the U.S. government moved between warning the public about the virus and claiming that the virus would spread and that the country was “going round the corner” on the virus. pandemic. In the year since the pandemic was announced, US President and now Mar-A-Lago resident Donald Trump has decided to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO) , wondering if you could inject disinfection, again overriding responsibility for the treatment of the pandemic for the States, and they seemed to listen to advice about the pandemic from a pill seller, among other things. The national response was as organized as a ferret dance party.

Unsurprisingly, such a response to the pandemic or lack thereof has had an impact. And, in this case, results don’t just mean people wearing pajama pants to business meetings and getting used to saying, “hey, you’re on! We can’t hear you! Press the unmute button! ”As of March 11, 2021, according to the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center, Covid-19 coronavirus has resulted in more than 118.0 million Covid-19 cases and more than 2.6 million deaths worldwide. The U.S. has had the most reported Covid-19 cases with more than 29.1 million and the most reported Covid-19 deaths at more than 529,000. India has followed the second most reported Covid-19 case (over 11.2 million) followed by Brazil (over 11.2 million), Russia (over 4.3 million) and the United Kingdom (over 4.2 million). one million). The U.S. has had nearly twice as many Covid-19-related deaths in Brazil in second place (over 270,000). Mexico continues with more than 192,000 deaths with India fourth in excess at 158,000 and fifth UK at over 125,000. Compare these numbers with those of South Korea (1,652 deaths), Australia (909 deaths), New Zealand (29 deaths), and Taiwan (10 deaths).

According to Erin Banco, a report for POLITICO, a forthcoming issue in the Weekly Report of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that the U.S. death rate rose by 15 percent in 2020. This making last year the deadliest year in U.S. record history, and Covid-19 was the third leading cause of death in the U.S., slowing down heart disease and cancer. As a result, life expectancy in the U.S. fell a full year, from 78.8 years in 2019 to 77.8 years in 2020. This all happened while some claimed that the coronavirus was not Covid-19 worse than the flu or even the norm. cold. All of this happened as political leaders continued to push against Covid-19 measures without offering alternative operational options. This all happened while several people refused to wear a face mask, treating masks as wearing porcupines on the faces.

The first year of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic may be known forever as the year the U.S. paid a hefty price for not listening to science. It is also a year that America has been given another harsh warning to change its ways. Over the years, science has taken more and more of a back seat in American society to the extent that it seems to have been put down to the foundations of many policy-making debates. In fact, how many scientists can name the average American who doesn’t have names that state with “ouchie?” In the words of the 2003 film, “Something’s Gotta Give.” Consider this pandemic as a trip to the emergency room for chest pain, a warning of worse things to come if major changes should not be made. It is a warning that should be heeded. Another thing, half a million deaths, as tragic as it may be, could be the direct result of even worse things to come.
