Original Note:
The day before Biden's inauguration the U.S. COVID death toll was 400,000. The other 800,000 happened under Biden, including 100,000 since he declared the pandemic "over" in 2022 when deaths were ~400/week. 5,300 reported deaths happened last month, averaging 1,325/week. https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/press-release/deaths-from-covid-19-spiked-over-the-summer-especially-among-people-65-and-older-before-dipping-again-in-september/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_COVID-19_pandemic_in_the_United_States_(2021) https://www.npr.org/2022/09/19/1123767437/joe-biden-covid-19-pandemic-over https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/weekly-covid-deaths?tab=chart®ion=NorthAmerica&country=~USA
