In the UK where they've had a LOT of covid deaths the excess death rate is actually normal now.
But now we have to wear a mask...
Free will is a property of consciousness . The materialist reductionist methodology has completely failed to explain how consciousness emerges from the physical world . The top neurologists today will freely admit that . You try to portray your viewpoint as being a ‘scientific’ one but you have zero scientific evidence to support it . Nada . Zip . Go back to your pseudo social science mysticism YouTube videos ... brah .

The world figure now is 15,600,000. That's not a good job and no I'm not being sarcastic now.
I also remember all the people saying the hospitals are empty and it's all bullshit. Doesn't seem the case now though so maybe it wasn't bullshit?
But you have your freedom now yeah?
Carry on, you're doing great and the economy is now thriving and everything is back to normal. (that was sarcasm)
At least you still have the BLM distraction from other important topics that need serious discussion and investigation.
Correcting that is far harder than realizing that, though....
To quote Bush from the song Swallowed:
Piss on, self-esteem

Cites reports on low transmission rates of Covid from adolescents and lower adolescent deaths than in each of the last 5 flu seasons and certainly on track to be much lower than H1N1.
Weeks late IMO, but in the aggregate completely on point. The essential role in-person school/instruction has on kids education, development, and overall well being is just that...essential.
Saying that, Australia is nearly back to March record numbers so shit's not looking to good here although it is mostly confined to the state of Victoria (our Mexico) and Melbourne in particular. There has been small outbreaks from on the run Victorians jumping the border with one near me so went in for the bottle brush down the nose treatment yesterday just to be sure as I work close to others and can't maintain a safe distance. There's been more than a few memes and jokes about building a wall around that place too.

Well this never happens from the Flu
With Covid-19 hospitalizations steadily approaching a record high in the US, states like Arizona have activated emergency plans and requested refrigerated trucks to prepare for overflow at morgues. Doctors there say packed emergency rooms and ICUs are forcing them to prioritize the sickest patients, leaving other ill patients to deteriorate while waiting for care they’d ordinarily receive right away.
Hospitals in hot spots across the country are expanding and even maxing out their staff, equipment, and beds, with doctors warning that the worst-case scenario of hospital resources being overwhelmed is on the horizon if their states don’t get better control of the coronavirus.
“With Covid, a lot of times people who aren’t sick enough yet get pushed to the back, and then they can become really, really sick unfortunately because we were focusing our efforts on the people who are on the brink of death,” an emergency room doctor at the Banner Health system in the Phoenix metro area, who asked to go unnamed fearing retaliation from his employer, told Vox.
Other doctors in Arizona, where 90 percent of hospital beds statewide were in use Tuesday, say the scarcity of resources means they’ll soon be rationing medical care, as doctors in Italy were forced to do.
“The fear is we are going to have to start sharing ventilators, or we’re gonna have to start saying, ‘You get a vent, you don’t.’ I’d be really surprised if in a couple weeks we didn’t have to do that,” says Murtaza Akhter, an emergency medicine physician at Valleywise Health Medical Center in Phoenix.
“From Argentina to South Africa to New Zealand, countries in the Southern Hemisphere are reporting far lower numbers of influenza and other seasonal respiratory viral infections this year. In some countries, the flu seems to have all but disappeared, a surprise silver lining that health experts attribute to measures to corral the coronavirus, like mask use and restrictions on air travel.”
Pit Row
LOL
Q : Why do we need to study free will in the first place? And does what we may find have practical applications in neurology and law?
A: As I always say, the first thing about doing basic science is that you should want to satisfy human curiosity because we never know what applications there could be in 10 years that we have not thought about right now. So, there is value in doing basic science for its own sake.
Second, it may well turn out that neuroscience is not able to completely tell us whether or not there is free will. But I think studying it is important because it teaches us about processes in the brain and how things like volition come about.
Try reading a book google boy ...

I can tell you that hospitals are putting a lot of emphasis on collecting data on any patient that comes in that was related to covid in any way. Whether its a previous swab, positive result, or pending swab. Something tells me that is related to getting federal $$$$$$

Waste of time, we are surely too biased by our convictions but free will...
ICU beds in major cities are always full. Hell people sit for days waiting to go to a regular level of care because the hospital wards are full to capacity. This isn’t a new concept here. Hospitals operate at almost full capacity all the time. This 90% full and blah blah is heavy media embellishment for what is common in the United States. And People still can get care here—fast.
Now it’s “oh we will keep You in mind but really slow and cutting back sorry”
