US reports 3,100 COVID-19 deaths in one day, surpassing previous record by 20 percent

The number was 20 percent higher than the previous single-day high of 2,603 on April 15, and brings the total U.S. death toll to 273,799, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

The record high came the same day new hospitalizations exceeded 100,000 for the first time ever and newly reported infections hit 200,000 for only the second time, according to the COVID Tracking Project. Of those hospitalized, 19,396 were intensive care patients, another new high.

And a reminder to the fools who think there's not an overall increase in deaths and "regular" deaths are just being labeled covid deaths, we have 300k more death than the 5 year average from January through beginning of October. Even the numbers from that article by an economics professor showed 7k more deaths per week in 2020 compared to 2018 or 2019, and that's someone flu bros keep sharing to try and say deaths aren't higher.

All this with mask mandates, capacity limits on businesses and countless other measures. Its almost as though we dont know how to stop this thing.

At least our politicians believe in the controls

5 thousand next week after Thanksgiving cases?

It’s almost like hardly anyone is following these unenforceable mandates that are more like suggestions, and now here we are

Needs a little more time. The ones that got sick then spread that to others as it builds. About 4 weeks for death toll to really climb. 1-2 week lag time to symptoms and then 1-2 weeks in hospital/icu for the bad ones to lose their fight anyways

I dunno. At least where I live, from what I see in my travels, people are largely listening. I can't speak for the bars though. I've seen them crammed with no masks in sight. Can't police everyone I guess.

Yeah. And there in lies the problem

like, even if 80% are good. No large gatherings, masks in public, keep hangouts to a close circle of family and the needed friends, the 20% are quite literally killing the others

They bar hop in packed bars, then wear their mask below their nose in the grocery store so they can breathe better, and someone who really has been good catches it as well. Pretty unfair really

I was staunchly anti mask when this whole thing started. Even I have relented and am used to it now. Keep a pack in my glove compartment for when I'm out and about because its literally a permission slip to enter buildings now.

Really masks is the smallest of inconveniences to try and slow stuff down. There’s no reason not to wear one. I completely get the arguments that the business closures are too far and do more harm than good, but it wouldn’t have gotten to that point if people could just man up and wear a mask when indoors around others that aren’t their immediate household.

Gonna have a really good anecdotal test of can a basic mask possibly prevent someone from catching covid, not just help prevent someone from spreading it

Mom overworked and brain farted in the icu. Spent an hour in a covid patients room with just a regular surgical mask on, not the actual fit tested N95. Waiting for the 3-5 day window for those test results, hoping she somehow dodged it

Gonna have to wait for the vaccine. Fact is is that people aren't following social distancing and mask mandates (including politicians that set these rules) and even then, people that wear masks are still getting it. And you can't lockdown this thing out of existence. Are we seriously going to shut down every few fucking months because COVID comes back? No shit, it's a contagious virus. Of course it's going to respread.
Plus there won't be any small business left at this rate.
Get the vaccine out and that'll will be the step in the right direction. Locking down is not the answer. It's a knee jerk reaction. Can't fucking believe first world countries were so unprepared for this.

That's more people than died on 9/11

Not overly wrong. Vaccine will be the game changer that gets us out. Even before fully distributed, get that thing to nursing homes, healthcare workers, and anyone over 65 with diabetes or obese or heart issue or something. And then covid will finally actually be just a flu the hospitals can handle.

But what’s the alternative to locking down? Just accepting 2500+ dead Americans a day?

 

[MicroBrew]

- New record set for deaths per day.
- Infections at all time high
- some areas are stretched beyond capability
- Los Angeles mayor Garcetti putting city in total lockdown

I was hearing online and in person from Trump supporters that if/when Biden gets elected the virus and negative news surrounding the virus will magically disappear.

Hospitals stretched beyond 'reasonable limit' as number of Covid-19 patients reaches 100,000 and reported deaths hit all-time high

(CNN)The total number of coronavirus deaths reported in a day set a new record Wednesday and hospitalizations also reached an all-time high, and doctors and nurses across the US are trying to find creative ways to handle the surging number of patients.

The numbers are grim. More than 100,200 patients were in US hospitals Wednesday, according to the Covid Tracking Project.
There were more than 2,670 deaths reported Wednesday, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Those totals have never been higher. The stress on frontline health care workers has never been greater.

Wait until Thanksgiving numbers kick in

Let's hope the vaccines arrive soon and do indeed turn out to be as great as they seem so far.

China created this virus and continues to spread it on the ground in America. Leftists and their accomplices in China have colluded to keep borders as weak and compromised as possible and we're flying people into our countries for minorities with families over seas.

Trump wanted to shut the borders immediately and was called xenophobic by Biden.

Sickening.

Where Trump at? He said it was over a month ago.


Now he’s bitching about his life 24/7 while this shit is going on?
