Los Angeles, Jan 22 (EFE).- Air quality officials in hard-hit Southern California have responded to a backlog of Covid-19 bodies at crematoriums and hospitals by temporarily suspending a monthly limit on cremations in Los Angeles County.
The tone on a panel for Fox Business Network show 'Outnumbered' took a decidedly harsh tone on Wednesday. According to Business Insider, some guests began trading memes and mocking banter about COVID-19 restrictions in some states. But then, former State Department spokeswoman and Democratic operative Marie Harf brought them up short. It's not a joke, first of all. A bunch of people are dying every day in this country from coronavirus. Marie Harf Former State Department spokeswoman Weekend 'Fox & Friends' co-host Pete Hegseth wasn't having it, calling social distancing restrictions 'absolute garbage.' When the rules are so ridiculous, they go out the window. People ignore them, as they should. Pete Hegseth Co-host, 'Fox & Friends' weekend edition
Former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg lashed out at the eldest son of President Donald Trump on Friday. On Thursday, Donald Trump Jr. falsely minimized the deaths related to coronavirus, telling Fox News the Trump administration had the pandemic under control. Cases and deaths from the novel coronavirus in the US are rising rapidly. The US broke its single-day coronavirus case record last week with over 88,000 new COVID-19 cases in a single day, in addition to over 1,000 deaths. Business Insider reports Buttigieg criticized Trump Jr. for being 'out of touch' when he said US coronavirus deaths are down to 'almost nothing.' Tell that to any of the Americans who are confronting what is literally the worst mass casualty event in this country since World War II. Pete Buttigieg
Just when people are getting more comfortable flying during the pandemic, CNN reports a woman died due to COVID-19 while on a flight to Arizona. CNN reports a county official said the Dallas-area woman was in her 30s and had 'underlying high-risk health conditions.' The woman died in late July on the tarmac at a New Mexico airport. The Dallas County HHS first reported her death in the news release Sunday. No other details were made available because of medical privacy reasons. Johns Hopkins University says more than 220,000 have died and more than 8.2 million COVID-19 cases have been reported nationwide as of Tuesday afternoon. The Transportation Security Administration says it screened more than 1 million passengers Sunday. That's the highest number of passengers since March 16.
New research suggests deaths in America have been seriously undercounted. According to Gizmodo, a new study estimates that between March and July, there were 225,000 more deaths in the US than expected. Of those fatalities, a little over half were officially attributed to the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 can damage the heart, which may partially account for the increase in deaths attributed to heart disease seen in some weeks. States with spikes in COVID-19 deaths also saw more excess deaths generally during those spikes, further implicating the virus as the cause. COVID-19 is also thought to have caused thousands of deaths indirectly, by people being too afraid to seek medical help for chronic conditions.
France is reporting a big fall in its coronavirus death toll on Sunday, with 242 deaths in 24 hours, a drop of more than a third on the previous day. The epidemic has now claimed 22,856 lives in the country since the beginning of March, say health officials. ANIMATED GRAPHIC
