The United States surpassed 170,000 coronavirus deaths on Sunday, according to a Reuters tally.
Deaths rose by 483 on Sunday, with Florida, Texas and Louisiana, leading the rise in fatalities, the tally found.
The United States has at least 5.4 million confirmed cases in total of the novel coronavirus, the highest in the world and likely an undercount as the country still has not ramped up testing to the recommended levels.
Cases are falling in most states except for Hawaii, South Dakota and Illinois.
Public health officials and authorities are concerned about a possible fall resurgence in cases amid the start of the flu season, which will likely exacerbate efforts to treat the coronavirus.
Centers for Disease Control Director Robert Redfield warned in an interview with Web MD that the United States may be in for its “worst fall” if the public does not follow health guidelines.
Worldwide there are at least 21.5 million coronavirus cases and over 765,000 confirmed deaths, according to Reuters. The United States remains the global epicenter of the virus, with around a quarter of the cases and deaths.
Last week, US President Donald Trump announced the US government will purchase 100 million doses of Moderna’s experimental coronavirus vaccine, which is currently in late-stage human trials.
Moderna separately said the deal for its vaccine, mRNA-1273, is worth $1.53 billion and will give the federal government the option to purchase up to 400 million additional doses.
Previously, Trump estimated that a vaccine for coronavirus may be produced ahead of the US presidential election on November 3.
Asked by radio talk show host Geraldo Rivera whether a vaccine could come by the election, Trump said, "I think in some cases, yes, possible before. But right around that time."

Inflated and padded numbers still, most likely.
And we can’t use HCQ
So what’s the percentage of people surviving?
I know one person who has caught it.
He is very tired and gets winded easily.
The flu I caught back in ‘82 had me ill for three weeks to the point I was wondering if it was ever going to be over.
Everyone I knew had it and they all asked the same question
And, China lies about their actual death count, from their CCP virus.
That’s disgusting considering the left is doing what it can to keep Trump from getting re-elected, including sacrificing the lives of average Americans.
We are just expendable trash to them. Only good enough to be used to get what they want and then discarded like an old shoe..
Now, what if they know what they are doing...
~Easy
If we doubled the bonus to hospitals for their covid cases I wonder if we’d double the covid deaths?
Yeah, being a little facetious... I do wonder how other nation’s treat covid rewards. I assume they contribute something for the cases. What amounts and rules do they employ?
Don’t reckon we’ll ever know. Maybe in ten years there’ll be a definitive study of the numbers.
cases are meaningless.
USA #8 deaths per million as of August 14, 2020

Also, the highest fake virus death count (motorcycle crashes, alcohol poisoning, gunshots etc. with the virus, another $39,000 each).
RE: So what’s the percentage of people surviving?
If you can believe the numbers, it says 170,000 deaths and 5.4 million confirmed cases. That makes the death rate: 3.1%, which means 97% survive.
However, many believe that the 170,000 is inaccurate and so is the 5.4 million cases ( infection is likely much higher ).
RE: cases are meaningless.
But 170,000 deaths is depressingly high.
US surpasses 170,000 Coronavirus deaths with at least 5.4 million confirmed cases
Complete BS from al-Reuters.
Partisan Media Shills update.
You’ve tried posting that image three times and each time, it fails to load.
The US is the third most populous country in the world, after China and India, and has done more Covid testing by far than any other country. Thus, all other things being equal, more cases.
