The United States has recorded a quarter-million Covid-19 deaths, the latest NBC News numbers showed Wednesday, and the death rate has been accelerating in recent weeks as cases have been surging across the country.

The 250,000th death was logged Wednesday morning, the data revealed.

In the last four weeks there has been a 42 percent increase in the number of fatalities, from a weekly average of 821 per day in early October to last week’s average of 1,167 fatalities per day, according to an NBC News analysis of the available data.

And, a year after the first Covid-19 infection was reported in China, people were dying in America at a pace not seen since mid-August, the analysis showed.

3. On pace for a first-year death toll of 360,338.

That is 986 people a day dying - every day - while Trump twiddled his tweeting thumbs, watched FOX, and gorged on greasy KFC.

He should be locked in Supermax solitary for the few remaining years of his miserable life.

5. Overheard someone in my neighborhood saying, "It's no worse than the flu."

I think she misplaced her decimal point. 25,000 dead in a year is more like flu numbers. Covid is ten times worse.
