This is such an amazing, damning video:

This video contains so many memorable quotes, such as:

• “It is so bad, the Dakotas North and South lead the world right now on a per capita basis when it comes to the number of people who are dying on a daily basis.”
• “Politics has affected so much of what is happening here. People will fight you on the facts.”
• “If you were grading it, it would be an F, probably and F-. It’s that bad.”
• “In South Dakota, the debate over wearing a mask continues statewide… Around 50% of South Dakotans say they do not wear a mask.”

“Among the Reddest of Red states, North Dakota largely put individual liberties ahead of collective health initiatives, only requiring masks once hospitals were overwhelmed. Neighboring South Dakota still has not.”

Case numbers for COVID-19 in the United States grow nearly every day now. The NYTimes put it this way:

“The infection rate continues to shatter records: On Friday, public health officials reported more than 181,000 new cases across the country. It was only eight days earlier that the U.S. reported its first 100,000-case day.”

And this article from the Atlantic is talking about exponential spread that is likely to occur unless intense steps are taken to slow the virus down:

It’s Time to Hunker Down – A devastating surge is here. Unless Americans act aggressively, it will get much larger, very quickly.

From the article:

“Almost every day, America is breaking new records in confirmed cases: They are up 40 percent from just one week ago. These cases are not confined to a region or a state; the whole nation is in the midst of a terrible surge…. This is not a “casedemic”—the false notion that we just have better testing and detection, without any real change in the underlying risk for illness and death. It’s true that we missed a lot of cases in the spring because we didn’t have enough tests, and that we are catching more of them now. But it’s not just confirmed cases that are on the rise. The United States is also experiencing a steep increase in hospitalizations, as well as about 1,500 reported deaths a day…”

Everyone who gets COVID potentially spreads it to 2 or 3 other people, and without measures to contain this spread, the virus can experience exponential growth. Why is this happening?

• People are letting their guard down
• People are “tired of the virus”, they want it to be over, they want to stop thinking about it, they want to return to normal
• Some people, fantastically, continue to believe that the virus is a hoax

A South Dakota ER nurse shared the sobering reality of the coronavirus in a CNN interview – On ‘New Day’ with Alisyn Camerota, Jodi Doering shared horror stories of patients not believing COVID-19 was real even as they lay dying from it.

“I have a night off from the hospital. As I’m on my couch with my dog I can’t help but think of the Covid patients the last few days. The ones that stick out are those who still don’t believe the virus is real. The ones who scream at you for a magic medicine and that Joe Biden is (g)oing to ruin the USA. All while gasping for breath on 100% Vapotherm. They tell you there must be another reason they are sick. They call you names and ask why you have to wear all that ‘stuff’ because they don’t have COViD because it’s not real.”

It is impossible to believe that this is happening, but it is happening. People who do not believe that the virus is real take no precautions, and they spread the virus freely.

‘Covid-hell.’ ‘Humanitarian disaster.’ Experts sound the alarm about U.S. coronavirus outbreak.

From the article:

The experts use different language to underscore the situation’s urgency: Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Tom Frieden said the nation is experiencing a “dangerous time.” CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta called the crisis a “humanitarian disaster.” Epidemiologist Michael Osterholm, who was recently named to President-elect Joe Biden’s coronavirus task force, described the situation bluntly as “covid-hell.”

The COVID-19 virus now appears to be spreading uncontrollably in the United States, and will begin overwhelming hospital systems. While the announcement of a vaccine this week is good news, it will not have any effect on the disease for several months. Those months could see a further explosion of cases unless extraordinary steps are taken to stop the spread. 10,000+ dead people per week is the likely path for the foreseeable future.

Bill and Melinda Gates say ‘shocking’ US pandemic response is due to ‘terrible leadership’

Speaking to Axios, Melinda Gates said the only reason America was facing such a higher death toll than other developed countries was a “lack of leadership.” As Melinda put it: “We’ve had terrible leadership on this issue quite frankly. And science should never be politicized. Science is about getting at the truth.” When asked if any other variable accounted for the impact of COVID-19 in the US compared to other developed countries, Melinda said it was “our leadership and response” that was to blame.

On this date approximately 200,000 Americans are dead – a shocking number for a developed country, and the highest death toll in the world.

‘Superbugs’ a far greater risk than Covid in Pacific, scientist warns

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), including drug-resistant bacteria, or “superbugs”, pose far greater risks to human health than Covid-19, threatening to put modern medicine “back into the dark ages”,an Australian scientist has warned, ahead of a three-year study into drug-resistant bacteria in Fiji.

As humans use and misuse antibiotics, bacteria evolve to become immune to these drugs. Then there will be no way to stop those bacteria, also known as “superbugs”.
