The world is into our 5th wave of COVID-19 deaths, and perhaps 6th, if you count two in that middle wave  Note, however, that there seems to be a definite decline of new deaths in our current surge: However, if you look closely at the  Worldometer  data: The USA yesterday dwarfed other countries in new cases with 171,125 and new deaths with 1761. India and the UK were at around 37,000. Russia had the second most new deaths with 789 and Mexico was next with 730. Florida had the most new cases in the country with 17,854, but did not report how many new deaths they had.   Texas had 17,208 new cases and 412 new deaths, the most in the nation, if higher than Florida.  This rate is 14 new deaths/million population. The world new deaths/million yesterday was around 1.0.  India was only at 0.2/million. Russia had 5.4 new deaths/million. Hawaii had 5.8 new deaths/million, higher than Russia, which yesterday had the second-most new deaths in the world. What is wrong with the USA??? Petite Syrah
