ALL SOULS DUE TO COVID

November is not only the month of saints, but also  ALL SOULS.  The latest statistics re. the Covid 19 is astounding- the kind of figure which is hard to get your head around.

 The number who have died of COVID-19 has surpassed 5 million world wide.  The United States alone includes 745,800 deaths.

That grim statistic exceeds the number of deaths in the United States due to the 1918 influenza pandemic, which the Centers for Disease Control estimates was about 675,000.

An overwhelming majority of Americans who have died in recent months, a period in which the country has offered broad access to shots, were unvaccinated. Because of the Delta variant, the United Stateshas had one of the highest recent death rates of any country with an ample supply of vaccines. The South was especially hit hard due to people refusing vaccinations. 

We continue to pray for the safety of all as well as the souls of all who have died.  RIP
