A virus that didn’t even exist a year ago is now killing more Americans than Alzheimer’s disease, accidents and diabetes.
The novel coronavirus has infected more than 5.4 million Americans and killed more than 170,000, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
Over the past three weeks, the US has averaged more than 1,000 Covid-19 deaths per day.
Heart disease and cancer are the leading causes of death in the US, according to the CDC.
The rate of deaths from Covid-19 is also much greater in the US than in many other countries, Frieden said.
“Last week, Americans were eight times more likely to get killed by Covid than were Europeans,” he said.
