Statistics has shown that the catastrophical Covid-19 has in just 10 months killed more people than suicide, stroke and car crash would have killed combine in a year.
The victims include an elderly father and his grown daughter who died within moments of each other. Two parents who died before their son's 5th birthday. In rare cases, even children with no known prior health conditions.
Health experts say if Americans don't get more serious about wearing masks and avoiding careless socializing, the rate of deaths will keep soaring this fall and winter.
Coronavirus has killed 250,000 people in the US in less than 10 months, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
Statistically, in less than 10 months, Covid-19 deaths have reached more than five times the average number of annual flu deaths which figure is given to be an average of 42,200 deaths each year from 2014 through 2018, and at least 10 times more people have died from Covid-19 so far this year than car crashes typically do over an entire year - On average, 24,166 people die each year in car crashes, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. (The number includes drivers or passengers killed in car crashes, not others such as bicyclists or pedestrians who were killed as the result of car crashes.)
Also, An average of 141,952 people in the US die from strokes each year, according to CDC data, this means in less than 10 months, Covid-19 has killed about 1.8 times as many people than strokes typically do in 12 months.
In addition, the number of Covid-19 deaths is now five times higher than deaths by suicide each year. On average, 45,439 people died by suicide from 2014 through 2018, according to CDC data.
However, only Heart disease and Cancer topple Covid-19 as the top cause of the deaths in the U.S with average of 655,000 and 606,880 respectively.
