Source on that Covid death figure? The 7 week death average has been floating around 300 - 500 since the summer with and exception of a large spike around early November.

The total for 2022 was around 267k, or 5,135 a week. So worse than the number I gave.

States are not reporting consistently and dumping totals every few weeks. Daily averages over short periods of time aren't reliable.

 
Covid-19 is the leading cause of death in America that is not heart disease or cancer, is going to remain so for the foreseeable future, and forcing people back into high-transmission environments while it's still killing massive amounts of people is cruel and unnecessary.
