Multiple vaccine incentives are now being offered to those getting vaccinated this month to meet the CDC/President Biden's goal of 70% adult vaccination by July 4th, 2021.
Those vaccinated at CVS pharmacy or by CVS pharmacist @ covid clinic/ SNF, can enter to win numerous prizes -- including Feb. 2022 Super Bowl Trip! Of course, they weren't permitted to give vaccine yet to general public when I or sons vaccinated in PA --so I'll try their mail-in address per website. Will need to find a Krispy Creame for my free doughnut (damm the diet)!

How does the US have more deaths than the total world population?How do we have more deaths than total cases?
This looks like an error, possibly, misinformation.
I bet you are a real expert on misinformation about covid and vaccines, eh?
LOL
2 minutes ago, Feelgood RN said:Then, maybe don't indulge them? I've seen many posts on here I'd consider downright stupid from people that claim to be nurses. I don't engage them because I know from experience, which you apparently haven't gained from this or any other interaction, that they'll continue to drivel that stupidity as long as someone will listen.
My opinion is that as a nurse you should know and respect other people's points of view, no matter how stupid they are. It tells us what they know, their intelligence level, their background, the ability of their information to be trusted. It tells us many thing. Apparently as an anesthetist you forget the nuance of nursing care and how to use information. It's OK though, you go all that extra schooling to make sure you don't have to listen to patients.
In short, it's my opinion that it all has a place here. Besides, there's not really that many people posting on here anymore, especially not enough to keep it interesting.
Nah
We don't have to respect stupidity being passed off as educated opinion.

You just posted the exact same thing, and it still looks ridiculous. I know how many people live in the US.
John Hopkins Univ. Covid-19 dashboard
Worldwide stats 6/11/21 @ 1045 AM:
Cases: 174,940,496
Deaths: 3,775,180
U.S. stats
Cases: 3,775,180
Deaths: 3,775,261
Here is math:
WW Deaths: 3,775,180 < US Deaths 3,775,261
US Cases: 3,775,180 < US Deaths 3,775,261
Maybe I'm missing something, but these numbers look wrong.
24 minutes ago, macawake said:Certainly more than three million sevenhundred and seventyfive thousand and change. But there seems to be something wrong with the U.S. numbers as the case number and deaths are almost identical. I think you’ve had about 600,000 deaths attributed to Covid. The 3 million plus number are global deaths I believe.
You see how easily "misinformation" is spread by intelligent people?

I was responding to this. The world population is counted in billions ? But yes, the U.S. numbers aren’t accurate. Close to 600,000 deaths and about 33 million verified cases are the U.S. stats if I recall correctly.

Sorry if it wasn't clear. I was saying, how does the US have more deaths than the deaths of the the world wide population...not more deaths than the number of people on the Earth...?
Now we have basically a whole page where we look stupid because of a copy pasta mistake. Should all that be deleted because of its stupididty and "uselessness"?
This is a simple and easy to see example of how easily data can be erroneous and in at least one instance...people take it at face value with no question.
As a nurse, as a human, always question and come to your own conclusions.
