R&B singer Jeremih is battling the novel coronavirus COVID-19 in an intensive care unit. CNN reports the 33-year-old is on a ventilator to help him breathe. According to a statement from his family, what Jeremih is experiencing 'is rare for a young man his age without underlying conditions.' The singer/songwriter's first Top 10 hit was 2009's 'Birthday Sex.' He's had more hits since and successful collaborations with other artists, including Ty Dolla Sign and YG. Jeremih's family said the virus has 'viciously attacked his body,' and are gratefully asking for continued prayers.
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.
