The weekly death toll from COVID-19 in the U.S. remained above 1,000 for the second week in a row as a summer wave continued, according to figures collected by BNO News. Cases however appear to have peaked in some areas. At least 174,455 new cases were reported between August 19 and August 25, up from 169,217 the week before (+3%) …

At least 174,455 new cases were reported between August 19 and August 25, up from 169,217 the week before (+3%) and the highest since March 3. Those figures were collected from state health departments and, where necessary, estimated based on hospital admissions.

Actual case numbers are higher because many hospitals and states are no longer reporting detailed COVID data. Laboratory testing is also low as most people and doctors are using at-home tests which are not included in official statistics.

We couldn't even normalize mask use while sick.

    Since there are animal reservoirs now even though it seems less contagious through those means I’m not sure this is possible anymore.

    I think it's still possible, since COVID did not come from a bat, and pretty much all wildlife is as unrelated to us as a bat (rodents like squirrels are still slightly close tho)

    It brings up a more important question of whether wildlife is being hurt by covid, however
