It shows how dangerous ignorance is. It’s exhausting sharing this planet with all these fucking morons.

While the US had a lower COVID-19 mortality rate than high-mortality countries during the early spring, after May 10, all 6 high-mortality countries had fewer deaths per 100 000 than the US. For instance, between May 10 and September 19, 2020, Italy’s death rate was 9.1/100 000 while the US’s rate was 36.9/100 000. If the US had comparable death rates with most high-mortality countries beginning May 10, it would have had 44 210 to 104 177 fewer deaths (22%-52%) (Table 1). If the US had comparable death rates beginning June 7, it would have had 28% to 43% fewer reported deaths (as a percentage overall).

Didn’t we already discover how dangerous it is? Isn’t that what the vaccine was created and made mandatory?

I swear, it’s like every generation thinking they’ve discovered sex for the first time. Except this is much deadlier.
