OK, it's not quite 100,000 exactly yet; also the numbers are plenty elastic because some people aren't getting counted, and maybe a few have been counted in error. Still, even allowing a substantial margin of error one way or another, the story these numbers tell is one to be ashamed of.
The U.S. death toll on Monday [that would be yesterday] afternoon stood at more than 97,000. Worldwide, the death toll was about 345,000; the United States, with less than 5 percent of the global population, accounts for nearly a third of all deaths.
This is a failure of the government and the medical establishment, both of which we need to fix. Soon.
