Cases are irrelevant. Define case. The death count is all I’ve cared about since I discovered worldometer back in April of 2020. And even then it’s important to know (yes, KNOW) that those numbers are exaggerated.
Hospitalizations and ICU numbers matter MUCH more than “cases” which, we all should know, are easily manipulated through generating false-positive “tests”.
“Cases” do not strain the health care system.
