Minnesota reports daily record 101 deaths from COVID-19

[question everything]

Minnesota is reporting 101 new deaths from COVID-19 — a one-day tally that shatters the previous high mark of 72 fatalities, the state Health Department said Friday.

With the latest numbers, Minnesota has now seen 3,476 deaths since the pandemic hit the state in March. Deaths reported Friday include residents from 39 of the state's 87 counties, according to Health Department data.

Residents of long-term care and assisted-living facilities accounted for 64 of the newly announced deaths. Ninety deaths were in residents age 70 and older. The six oldest victims were age 95 to 99; the youngest was a Hennepin County resident age 25 to 29.

Numbers released Friday show health care workers have accounted for 21,846 positive cases. Nearly 245,000 people who were infected no longer need to be isolated.

The Health Department says its data release Saturday will include figures spanning two days — the numbers that typically would have been released Friday morning plus the normal Saturday data release.

1. So friggin sad.

Most of these cases could have been avoided had Science been used and Ignorance and bliss dumped into the trash can.

When a small town Nursing Home Worker walks around spewing Hoax theories,and not wearing masks or social distancing,just what the hell could go wrong with that picture.
