Covid-19 is now the No. 3 cause of death in the US

A disease that didn't even exist a year ago has now infected more than 5.4 million Americans and killed more than 170,000.

In fact, the US has averaged more than 1,000 coronavirus deaths per day over the past three weeks.

"Covid is now the No. 3 cause of death in the US -- ahead of accidents, injuries, lung disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and many, many other causes," said Dr. Thomas Frieden, a former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The rate of deaths from Covid-19 is also much greater in the US than in many other countries," Frieden said.

"Last week, Americans were eight times more likely to get killed by Covid than were Europeans," he said.

This story is from a pandemic rolling-updates page, so I posted the entire entry in a quote field. By the time you read this, the entry will likely be further down the page which I linked. But it caught my attention, so I thought I'd share.

In case you're wondering, cancer & heart disease duke it out for the top two causes of death. 'Accidents' slots into the #4 position, below Covid.

Maybe he was referring to when global warming wipes out all of humanity.

I'll have you know that Covid isn't even real. It is just a disease made up by the Chinese, Europeans, and democrats to undermine Trump and the election. Defeating Trump means so much to the world that the entire world came together and crashed the entire world economy and murdered these people with alien semen just to be mean to Donny boy. It is so unfair.

I bet you feel foolish now.
