How do you account for that figure from your "common cold"? -

2021-12-14 at 4:31 PM UTC in STICK IT, Damn It!You simpletons are so damn delusional. What do you think a 15.4% increase in death benefit payments cost the insurance companies? I'm thinking in the billions of dollars. How could any sane person believe they would pay out that money if they didn't have to? The fact that the same thing occurred during the 1918 epidemic also seems to be lost on you bunch of MAGAts.

15 sobering stats that tell the tale of the coronavirus in the U.S.

The United States has hit another ugly milestone in the fight against the coronavirus, with 1 in 100 people ages 65 years or older having died of it, the New York Times reports.
15 sobering stats that tell the tale of the coronavirus in the U.S.
It’s merely the latest in a string of data points that put the toll of the pandemic in stark relief — even as much of the political debate over the virus seems to be moving past it, despite a steady toll of more than 1,000 deaths per day.
While Republicans have long opposed mask and vaccine requirements and argued against other coronavirus mitigation measures, even some prominent Democrats are moving in a similar direction. Two Senate Democrats voted against President Biden’s vaccine-or-testing mandate for large businesses last week, and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) this weekend signaled that he won’t mandate masks statewide, saying, “We see it as the end of the medical emergency. Frankly, people who want to be protected [have gotten vaccinated]. Those who get sick, it’s almost entirely their own darn fault.”
Republicans, meanwhile, often speak of the pandemic in something amounting to the past tense. “Real America is done with #COVID19,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) tweeted this month. “The only people who don’t understand that are [Anthony S.] Fauci and [President] Biden.”
Whether “real America” is done with the coronavirus or not, the virus is decidedly not done with America. And the toll — both overall and to this date — speaks to that.
Below are some key stats that show how hard the virus has hit us.
1 in 420: The number of Americans who have died of the coronavirus.
1 in 290: The number of people who have died of the virus in the most hard-hit state, Mississippi.
1 in less than 7: The number of Americans who have had confirmed cases of the coronavirus.
1 in 1,300: The number of Americans who have been hospitalized with the virus, per data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
72 percent: The percentage of Americans who say they know someone who has died of or been hospitalized with the virus, according to a Pew Research Center poll from September.
One-third: The proportion of Americans who say they’ve had a family member or close friend who has died of the virus, according to an October poll from YouGov. (The numbers were similar across the political spectrum, in case you think people might oversell or undersell the toll of the pandemic in their personal lives for political reasons.)
1 in 8: The number of people, in that same poll, who say a family member has died of the virus.
20th: Where the United States ranks in total per capita deaths worldwide, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
1st: Where the United States ranks in total per capita deaths among large countries generally considered to be in the “First World.” (We had regularly been toward the top, in comparison to Western Europe, but we began outpacing the rest of such countries this year and currently rank just above Belgium.)
15.4 percent: The increase in death-benefit payments from life insurers in 2020 — the largest increase year-over-year since the 1918 flu pandemic — according to the American of Life Insurers.
More: The raw death toll from the coronavirus in the United States, vs. the best estimates of the 1918 flu pandemic. (The per capita death toll remains smaller today, given the increase in population. About 1 in 150 Americans are estimated to have died of the 1918 pandemic, versus 1 in 420 today.)
No. 58: Where the United States ranks in its full-vaccination rate (61.5 percent), out of about 180 countries for which Johns Hopkins has data. The rate in the United States is shy of almost all of Western Europe, along with Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Japan, Saudi Arabia and South Korea.
And a couple more …
1,218: The average daily death toll since the first coronavirus death was reported in the United States, on Feb. 29, 2020.
1,238: The average daily death toll over the past week. -

Chris Christie fired a fresh salvo at Trump, saying the events leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot were 'driven from the top' by 'C-team players'
insider@insider.com (Cheryl Teh)
Chris Christie said this weekend that the events leading up to Jan. 6 were "driven by the top."
Christie pointed the finger at the "C-team players" around Trump, blaming them for the Capitol riot.
He said Trump was reluctant to concede the election, and spurred on by people telling him what he wanted to hear.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie gave his take on the events leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, calling it a process "driven from the top" and "executed by C-team players."
Christie made these comments on Sunday, in an appearance on ABC News' "This Week" hosted by George Stephanopoulos. The former governor was responding to a comment from Stephanopoulos about a PowerPoint presentation sent by then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows detailing how the Trump team could work to overturn the election.
"It seems like, every single day, Chris Christie, we're learning more about what was going inside the White House in those days leading up to Jan. 6," Stephanopoulos said, referencing the Meadows PowerPoint presentation. "It may explain why the former president and his allies are working so hard not to cooperate."
Christie replied that the things that are being revealed now about the Jan. 6 riot were "driven from the top."
"I mean, the president made it very clear that he did not want to concede the election, that he would not concede the election. And you got a bunch of people around him by the time we got to the end, with very few exceptions, that were C-team players, at best, on their best day," Christie said.
The former governor added that these "C-team players" told former President Donald Trump what he wanted to hear.
"There were plenty of people on the outside who were telling him this is over, and you need to concede. He didn't want to hear that," Christie said.
Christie was critical of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision to block House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's GOP picks for the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
"The problem now is that because she dictated — for the first time in my memory — who the minority party could have on a committee, it does affect to some extent among people in my party, the credibility the committee has," he said, before adding that he thought the committee is doing "important work."
"In the end, the facts are going to come out, but let's not kid ourselves. This was a driven-from-the-top process executed by C-team players. And that's why it looks like a Keystone Cops operation, because it was," Christie said.
Christie's new comments are his latest salvo in an ongoing feud with the former president. On Nov. 8, Christie urged Trump to "move on" from the 2020 election and "tell the truth."
Trump then released a statement the next day via his spokeswoman, Liz Harrington, claiming Christie was "just absolutely massacred by his statements that Republicans have to move on from the past, meaning the 2020 Election Fraud."
"Everybody remembers that Chris left New Jersey with a less than 9% approval rating — a record low, and they didn't want to hear this from him!" Trump said in his Nov. 9 statement.
Trump on Dec. 8 also put out a statement via Harrington, commenting on how sales of his book "dwarf Chris Christie's."
Separately, Christie also accused Trump of withholding his COVID-positive test status and transmitting the virus to him. -
