COVID-19 DEATHS: A NEW VIEW
Bari Weiss says she’s “over” the pandemic. This chart shows which US states would’ve had their populations wiped out if all COVID-19 deaths were within their borders.
Official (5): WY, VT, AK, ND, SD
Undercount (9): WY, VT, AK, ND, SD, DE, MT, RI, ME

PS/ Another way of looking at this is that the COVID-19 “undercount” death toll presently equates to the evaporation of the *entire population* of Wyoming *and* Vermont *and* 1/3rd of the population of Alaska. And that’s in just 22 months—with things getting *worse* with Omicron.
PS2/ I’m putting aside the possibly decades-long toll that Long Covid will put on our healthcare system, including deaths that result from Long Covid down the line.
And I’m putting aside the strain that 75 million Americans infected so far—not a typo—has put on our system *now*.

PS3/ Imagine that the *entire population* of Wyoming has been *preventably* liquidated, and the *entire population* of Vermont has been *preventably* liquidated, and *one-third of Alaska* has been *preventably* liquidated...in 22 months.
Then imagine declaring you’re “over” it.

PS4/ But of course we have to add the *time* component here. What I have described is merely what has happened *thus far*.
Right now we are averaging about 60,000 dead/month officially and about 95,000/month with undercount—which is 1/10th the State of Delaware dying each month.
