-day

death

toll

so far 779 people. When we look at the

death

toll

In fact, the number of deaths will continue to rise as those hospitalized for a longer period of time die. The longer you are on a ventilator, the less likely you are to be left on it. Dr. Qi talked to me about this and said: he acted percent correctly the lagging indicator in quotes between hospitalizations and deaths hospitalizations may begin to decrease deaths actually increase because people who have been in the hospital for 11 days 14 days 17 days died that's what we're seeing hospitalizations go down and the death toll goes up I understand the science on it I understand the facts and the logic, but it's still incredibly difficult to deal with every face, every number is a face, right, and that It's been painfully obvious to me every day, but we've lost people. many of them frontline workers many of them health care workers many of them people who were performing the essential functions that we all needed for society to continue and they were putting themselves at risk and they knew that many of them were vulnerable people that this predator vicious of a virus attacked from day one, this virus attacked the vulnerable and it attacked the weak and it is our job as a society to protect the vulnerable and that has always been about from day one.
