Covid-19 Stats 10/7/2020

 

Covid-19 Update 10/7/2020

 

Tonight on a CBS News report I heard Tom Perez the DNC Chairman state something I have heard others state: That in the next 100 days we could have another 100,000 deaths from Covid-19 and blaming President Trump.

 

Here are the facts:

The first Covid-19 death in the USA was reported to have been in early February 2020 according to Wikipedia.org

The 100,000^th death from Covid-19 in the USA was reported on May 20, 2020 according to CDC.gov

The 200,000^th death from Covid-19 in the USA was reported on September 22, 2020 according to NPR.org

Since it took proximally 4 months (February, March, April, May) to reach 100,000 deaths and another 4 months (June, July, August, September) to reach another 100,000, then it makes sense that it will take about 4 months (October, November, December, January) for another 100,000 Americans to die from Covid-19 if we do not get a vaccine before then.

From today, 10/7/2020 that would be about January 15, 2020; while this statement is basically true, the way it is stated is to make it sound like the death rate is increasing, According to CDC.gov infection and death rates from Covid-19 in the USA are decreasing.

 

As of 10/7/2020 there have been 7,776,224 total positive cases of Covid-19 in the USA according to WorldOMeter.com

As of 10/7/2020 there have been 216,784 total deaths from Covid-19 in the USA according to WorldOMeter.com

As of 10/7/2020 there have been 4,983,380 reported recoveries from Covid-19 in the USA according to WorldOMeter.com (I could find this stat no place else!)

 

NYTimes.com reports that as of 10/6/2020 there have been 36,236,000 positive cases of Covid-19 reported in the world; 1, 054, 51 deaths from Covid-19 reported in the world; there have been 25,000,000 recoveries from Covid-19 reported in the world; but they and the CDC do not have any recorded recoveries from Covid-19 in the USA.

 

Be safe and do your own research to know the facts.
