COVID-19 US deaths have reached almost 2000 yesterday. As per our earlier post, this figure will go up to 3000s before it starts going down.
The scary part is that even these numbers for the deaths due to Corona may not be correct. In one twitter thread, Mark Levine – Chair of New York City Council health committee – shares that not just the numbers of cases are off but also the deaths. The complete thread shared by Mark Levine is embedded at the end of the post.
“Early on in this crisis we were able to swab people who died at home, and thus got a coronavirus reading. But those days are long gone. We simply don’t have the testing capacity for the large numbers dying at home. Now only those few who had a test confirmation *before* dying are marked as victims of coronavirus on their death certificate. This almost certainly means we are undercounting the total number of victims of this pandemic.” Mark Levine, Chair of New York City Council health committee
This means two things:
The entire magnitude in the US of what has happened until now has been underestimated. Severely.
The full picture at the end of it all will be far more devastating
This is being shared in a study by disease modelers at the University of Texas at Austin as well.
The total COVID-19 deaths in the US – minus those that Mark Levine talks about have already reached close to 13,000 as of this morning.
The post-Cold War order is fading, but the next world order has yet to emerge. As America, China, Europe, and Russia reposition for an uncertain future, old assumptions are collapsing. This is the story of borrowed power, strategic decline, rising rivals, and a world caught between eras.
For eighty years, the cross and the agency have traveled together. Missionaries mapped territories, pacified populations, and laundered political operations as charity. When India asks where was the money used, Washington sends a Secretary of State to make the question stop.
When Trump flew to Beijing carrying an unwinnable war, rising fuel prices, and a closed strait he could not reopen alone, Xi gave him pageantry with a twist. Nothing was signed. Yet, perhaps everything was decided.
The Hormuz closure wasn't a miscalculation — it was the missing piece. With maritime routes uninsurable and IMEC the last corridor standing, Trump has seized control of global trade infrastructure through a private governance body accountable to no one but its chairman for life.
Disparagement humor is a built and financed weapon. It boxes a people with a label, hardens the label into stigma, and makes the sacred laughable until a civilization forgets why it was worth saving. Rome never learned this lesson. However, India needs to. Ask - Who is paying for the laughter?
India's exam crisis is real. NEET leaked. JEE was hacked. CBSE's answer sheets were blurred. But the movement built on student anger arrived too organized, scaled too fast, and demands regime change — not reform. A sixty-year-old doctrine explains exactly what is happening.
