This data lags by 1-2 weeks, as the disclaimer on top says. The US is currently at 67000 dead.

"COVID-19 death counts shown here may differ from other published sources, as data currently are lagged by an average of 1–2 weeks."

"Data during this period are incomplete because of the lag in time between when the death occurred and when the death certificate is completed, submitted to NCHS and processed for reporting purposes. This delay can range from 1 week to 8 weeks or more, depending on the jurisdiction, age, and cause of death."

Oh no I guess you shouldn't go outside for another month. Good luck at the supermarket!

That wasn't the point, though? Just admit you were wrong, you don't need to double down repeatedly.

Going outside is fine. Being in close proximity to other people that generate droplets is what's dangerous. This is actually an important point because all we have to do to give people adequate space outside is tear away some of our public space given to cars. We have an amazing opportunity to destroy car culture sitting in front of us all while letting people improve their mental health.

Some European cities like Vienna have rededicated some streets to pedestrians and bikes last month. I'd certainly enjoy less space given to cars.

Calling Trump morbidly obese will send him into a rage

It also makes you seem really unlikeable in a country that's mostly overweight.

Those are very low numbers for something everybody should be in favor of even when no pandemic is going on. The US has extremely low voter turnout, things need to change.

It's kind a baffling how little the Democrats and Biden have been able to steer public discourse. Both seem entirely gone from the conversation (with the exception of brief interludes, like Pelosi bragging about her freezer full of ice cream)

So the whole Sweden didn't close and they seem to be not doing differently thing is confusing as gently caress to me. I am assuming the news I'm seeing isn't telling the whole story? Or has Sweden been mostly life as usual this whole time?

Sweden closed universities, prohibits gatherings over 50 people and has distancing requirements for establishments like bars and restaurants.

Mobility data also shows that Swedes have been staying home way more.

to be honest I don't know how anyone on the left watches the news these days without going "oh, we're on the losing side of an arms race"

there's no victory to be had in some supposed moral high ground of going "Well actually I think we should ban all of those" to a bunch of nazis about to plug you full of lead

Your dumb gun toy was a waste of money and the US being chock full of guns didn't stop the rise of fascism. If anything, it greatly enabled it by causing police to militarize to an extreme degree.

You're not bringing about the revolution, your gun is useless.

Yeah, if this thing ripped through Congress without a single one of them having more than a mild case and not even a single hospitalization that would mean everything we know about it is wrong.

Like, I'd absolutely believe their access to medical care would help them all survive if they all did get sick but congress is basically an old folks home theres no way half of them wouldn't be intubated by now.

It's very likely there's a very expensive treatment for Coronavirus the public doesn't know about. The US government was certainly talking about having one ready by this time back in March.

Pretty sure that's how you know you did it the right way. At least in our First Aid course we were told that it's very likely you'll crush the person's ribs when performing CPR.
