There have been 1,831,821 cases & 106,181 deaths from #COVID19, a 5.8% conf case-fatality rate. To put it another way, 1 out of 17 Americans w/ confirmed #SARSCoV2 has died. It is now the #1 cause of death in the US. The message is getting lost: this #pandemic is very serious.

UPI quotes Dr. Tony Fauci stating (about hydroxychloroquine) "The scientific data is really quite evident now about the lack of efficacy". Yesterday France and other countries have banned the use of HCQ to treat COVID. https://t.co/G0EuWMGTdW
