America's Covid-19 outbreak looks different today than it did a year ago.
New cases are once again rising after a sustained decrease in the spring.

flu season starts this month. Anyone in medicine going to discern the differing viruses or lump it all in like the last two years?
Good, herd immunity the way it should be aquired.
Supposedly COVID rates have been increasing faster in western Canada than further east. I think some of the discrepancy between the NBC map and other links may be based on periods of reference. But what I do find interesting is that severe forest fire smoke emanating mostly from B.C., SK and the Pacific northwest states spread across roughly the same area as that shown. And anecdotally, I had COVID like symptoms for a few days when forest fire smoke levels were “extreme” here near the U.S.-Canada border in early August. These symptoms more or less went away within a week of air quality improving.
My theory is that the forest fire smoke created similar symptoms to COVID and many people have a viral load but are otherwise asymptomatic, hence people going into hospital with these symptoms are classified as COVID patients even though it’s quite possible that the irritation of the smoke particles caused their distress.
I was within about one turn of the dial from seeking medical attention at the worst of my brief episode, but kept thinking “don’t go in, it’s a death sentence.”
The CDC and FDA should release HCQ and Ivermectin to the public and pandemic would be over. India has scored dramatic results using Ivermectin and there are American Doctors who have scored excellent results starting in 2020.
Why am I rooting for a case spike in New York City?
“Oh, that’s an easy one. Where the vaccination rates are the highest.”
I think it probably has more to do with slightly cooler temperatures and less sunlight.
The Delta wave moved North. This is just a temporary disparity.
It may be Seasonal variation, or just coincidental spread, but not everywhere began their wave at the same time. The Southern waves started out sooner, and have already burned through the bulk of loose fuel available to it. They have been heading lower for weeks.
The more Northerly States started their Delta waves later, and still have upswing, maybe for a few more weeks (some have already crested).
Overall (National average), Delta has decisively passed its peak. There was a lot more free fuel remaining for it in the South. In the North, vaccination rates are much higher, and earlier waves of COVID hit harder, so there is more natural immunity as well.
One way or another, mostly everyone will likely end up being exposed to Delta eventually, as it becomes endemic in the background.
NBC is Comcast — telecom — 5G?
The number of “active cases” in the USA fell this week for the first time in 12 weeks.
From Worldometer.
Because delta has gone through the south and there is probably a herd. As we say last year it will now spread north and then interiorly. Indoor season is done in the south and just beginning heading north.
I agree, virtually everyone will be exposed. Some unknown percentage enjoys prior immunity from catching similar viruses in the past.
I was just going to say, I couldn’t get past NBC, so I didn’t read it. I figured they would be lying again.
NBC as a source?
Of what?

“I can’t explain it without telling you the real truth.” - Genocidal Bureacrat Fauxci
That’s a face worthy of a 12” cast iron frying pan if there ever was one.
“The “vaccines” are working.
They are a cure for Wuhan flu hysteria, not a vaccine for the flu.
Hysteria sufferers who get the vaccine overcome their hysteria, drop their precautions and get the flu.
The success of the vaccinations is measured by the number of vaccinated who get the flu.”
The big lie continues
