ANALYSIS FROM WASHINGTON
One million deaths later, the United States is still not over COVID-19
An incalculable loss continues to grow, Edward Keenan writes.

Covid has been about twice as lethal for Americans as all the wars it's been involved in from WWII to the present day: c.598,219 US military fatalities from 1939.

In my case, yesterday was horrendous. Must have been horizontal for 20 hours. Running a temp, spiking at 37.5°C. Sweats. Shiverings. Achy joints, teeth, hair, balls. And an absolute funking epic headache that painkillers wouldn't touch. Today it seems more like it was 2 days ago - plus a dry cough, v runny nose, and a weird chemically taste in my mouth I can't get rid of. I've been awake for four hours now and am only just starting to dip - which is a vast improvement on yesterday when I was only managing about 20 minutes at a time. Hate to think what this would have been like without my two jabs and a booster.

Sounds like you've got it bad, B. I hope it goes well from now. I only had it bad* for about a day and a half.

* Barely bad.

I stopped reading at "not remotely done", that's delusional.
