U.S. deaths top 1,000 for fourth consecutive day

The United States reported more than 1,100 coronavirus-related deaths on Friday, the fourth day in a row that the grim tally has been above 1,000. The recent run is the first time since late May that the daily number of deaths has been above 1,000 across the United States. More than 74,000 new infections were reported nationally on Friday, one of the highest single-day totals yet.

Here are some significant developments:

• While millions of people are days away from losing unemployment benefits — and a federal eviction moratorium ending — a new stimulus package has been delayed. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said it may take several weeks to complete a deal.
• Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-disease expert, said states hit hard by the virus in recent weeks needed to halt or walk back their reopenings as they grapple with surges of infections. During a live interview with The Post, Fauci also said a vaccine would likely not be “widely available” until “several months in” to 2021.
• The Supreme Court denied a Nevada church’s plea that coronavirus-related restrictions on houses of worship unlawfully treats them worse than the state’s famous casinos.
• Many people with milder covid-19 symptoms continue to report health issues two to three weeks after testing, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
• The Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers that at least 77 hand sanitizer products may contain methanol, a toxic compound that can cause blindness or even possible death.
• Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro tested negative for the coronavirus, he announced Saturday morning. The world leader tested positive July 7 after previously expressing skepticism about the virus and measures to address it.

Globally, coronavirus-related deaths reached 640,000 Saturday morning, according to tracking by Johns Hopkins University. More than one-fifth of those deaths were reported in the United States, where total confirmed cases surpassed 4 million this week, based on data tracked by The Washington Post. More than 400,000 new cases had been added in the United States over seven days.

That's the super power for you, happen to be Indian sugardaddy.


Imagine if such situation was in Pakistan, God forbid, millions and millions infected, thousands dead, America and its "gang" would have forced Pakistan into isolation.

World by and large needs to "force isolate" America on urgent basis. Even American staunch allies. It's a sad situation in America, a human misery, but other nations need to raise walls among themselves and America to protect own people and citizens.

At this rate everybody in the US will be infected within six months. Those who don't die will suffer permanent nervous system damage for life.

That's like a new 9/11 everyday.
