Quick update: Some time in the next few days, US deaths from Covid-19 will
exceed 250,000. That's in about 9.5 months since the first death reported
in early February. At that run rate we're on track to hit well over 300,000
at the one-year mark.

Number reached. For the nay-sayers, imagine what the number would be without some mitigation procedures in place and help from the media raising the alarm on how widespread the infection is. If you compare the flu (that has effective vaccinations) to Covid (that does not), you are short sighted and not comparing "apples to apples".
