You have to remember during the initial outbreak in NYC back in spring of '20, they did not do any testing. A study found that more than 1.7 million New Yorkers -- about 20 percent of the city's population -- have already been infected with the virus, known as SARS-CoV-2, and that the infection fatality rate of the virus is close to 1 percent, ten times deadlier than the flu.

Back then, you sucked it up if you caught the virus. Now you can't return to work or school unless you tested negative.

But we've been consistent in reporting deaths.

Now with the case counts, we have an idea of how bad the spread is in an area. But the scenario that occured in NYC is not going to happen again because we've all acquired immunity against a novel virus.

We'll continue to get hit by variants in the future. Looks like they will continue to get nasty. We are hoping that this is the last major variant but I don't think so. We will see a lull, yes. But it'll be temporary.

A lot of this stuff going around so plenty of opportunities for the virus to mutate so not much we can do to stop that from happening for the time being.
