Hard to believe how many currently infected there are, after masking, mandates, distancing, and 450 million vaccinations!
It’s glaringly obvious that the stats don’t identify vaxxed vs. Purebloods.
So many people vaxxed this year - particularly those over 70 years old. Yet cases continue to rise and for now in the most vaccinated states. That may change since viruses well they virus.
It’s amazing folks think the vaccine is a public health choice rather than a person health risk assessment. Things have been set in motion which can’t be undone. Crazy days.
Michigan did not report today.
Death count well above 1 week ago same day.
Michigan last Tuesday over 150 dead.
Interesting numbers: 1.6% of US cases have died. That is 1.9% globally. Israel is sub 1%. Russia 2.8%.
But lower than the 114,621 reported on 11/19.

Maybe a break in the case numbers?
We (USA) were following a Delta wave curve like the UK - up tenfold in about two months, then dropping in half, and rising slowly from there.
Our recent downturn might mark a break from that pattern (Delta burning out), or it might just be some temporary fluctuation.
Between Delta, and now Omnicron, COVID is well on its way to burning through the great bulk of the remaining available fuel this Winter.
The fuel gets replenished every day of eroding vax protection.
Take a look at India, where Delta had originated. The population is much younger (and thinner) than the U.S. So my educated guess is that when it burned through the population, it had infected everyone and a lot of their elderly (their percentage of the population is much lower than ours) died in the surge. But it was only really bad in India for around three months so they got through it relatively quickly.
Our population is much older and more spread out so it's going to take a while for the fuel to burn out. Just my .02
Deaths, not cases. One goes back 1 week same day to ensure the comparison is legit, but you still get corruption on holidays. Friday not compared to a Wednesday. Fridays compared to Fridays.
The people who do the counts don’t work weekends . . . all this sort of thing.
Follows a long holiday weekend where death counts were well below similar days the previous week.
Nod. There’s no real history of catchup I’ve seen, but always possible. I think those days get updated at a later date, not added to the next day.
The curves look like they are inflecting upwards and omicron not yet here.
I read your post too fast. Thanks for the correction.
I do not recall the vaccine mfgr’s ever stating the vaccines would give strong protection against infection.
And, even if the vaccines did give good protection against infection by “original” COVID, and we had 80% of the population fully vaccinated or otherwise immune, Delta’s virion levels in nasal passages would (or will) in fairly short order infect the 20% vulnerable. That more than explains the current numbers of cases, esp. given that very little real mitigation is occurring in most areas.
CDC’s hopelessly bad public “education” effort has not helped, either.
Is there current data for CFR for unvaccinated persons who had “original” COVID (basically all cases in 2020) vs. unvaccinated persons who got Delta? This would have to be in a single country and likely needs to be broken down by age group.
Interesting. Maybe profiling by months. Delta reached 90% in early June 2021. Original virus June 2020.
Hmmm. There will be difficulty with differences in testing density determining case count.
This is a big reason why I got the global result. The numbers and seasons an countermeasures could average out to 1.9%.
Many states are down to reporting once per week or just every other day. So the only reliable metric is the weekly totals now.
“ Our population is much older and more spread out” (than India’s).
That is for sure. People are jammed together a lot more in India, and the sense of personal space is a lot smaller.
I rode a crowded bus there once, and had everyone within earshot leaning in to listen about how wide open Alaska is - a population density of one million acres per family, and no highway connection to the State Capital of Juneau. Eyes were wide with amazement.
India in general is among the most favorable places for disease spread on Earth. The daily commute on the Mumbai trains ensures blazingly fast and widespread transmission of respiratory viruses.
It seems that it takes natural immunity to strongly suppress transmission of Delta, even if the vaccines are effective in reducing the severity of disease and death rates. Perhaps nasal vaccines would better impede initial colonization (infection) and transmission, but nobody is going to have one approved until next year.
By then, Delta and Omnicron will probably have had their run.
