That is about 19% of the total world wide deaths!

That's about right (current figures on Worldometers) shows US deaths at 19% of world total: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries The only caveat I'd add is that the Indian deaths/million figure is surprisingly low, quite possibly due to delays in collating COVID statistics. The time it took to count votes in the most recent Indian elections makes the recent US Presidential election look blindingly fast by comparison and the Indian data collection procedures for both COVID and election are probably quite similar. -- -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org

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". Craig

I will still be towing here on the Treasure Coast, 200 feet away from any infected glider pilots. If anyone wants to come down to Vero for some good soaring please feel welcome. Bob
