Alabama is shrinking under the onslaught of Covid-19, its chief medical officer said, as deaths in the state outnumber births for the very first time.

Speaking to reporters in Montgomery on Friday, Dr Scott Harris said: “Here in Alabama, we continue to see deaths at a really high rate … 2020 is going to be the first year that we know of in the history of our state where we actually had more deaths than births.

“Our state literally shrunk in 2020, based on the numbers that we have managed to put together, and actually by quite a bit.”

Harris said Alabama had recorded a preliminary total of 64,714 deaths in 2020, compared with 57,641 births.

“We have data going back to the first decade of the 20th century, so more than 100 years, and that’s never happened before, nor has it ever even been close before. In world war two or during the flu pandemic of 1918, or world war one, we’ve never had a time where deaths exceed births until this past year.

“It’s certainly possible that could happen this year as well if we continue in the same rate that we’re seeing now.”

1. That ignores net migration

You don't know if Alabama's population is going to decrease merely because deaths exceed births by around 7K.

2. The libs have too much control over this life

They are boycotting it and are off to the next.

4. I live in Huntsville, Al. I have lost all sympathy. I'm glad the herd is thinning.

All the hospitals need relief. They are overwhelmed. I personally know someone who was stupid enough to take Ivermectin. She recovered from Covid but not because of taking horse wormer. The stupidity here stings.
