Places with highest daily reported cases per capita
Seven-day average of daily new reported cases per 100,000 residents
Other places that were ahead of us with their Omicron waves have especially varied on the back side of their curves.
It goes up quick everywhere, and drops quickly at first most everywhere. But some places (like the UK) have much more substantial (higher and longer) tails, while other places continue dropping quickly down to very low levels.
I tend to think that our accumulated immunity is high enough, that we will see very low levels at the end of cold and flu season (April), like we saw early last Summer (before Delta) - down another tenfold from current new case numbers.
“ whether we will continue to catch this thing over and over is murky.”
That is a big wild card. If immunity is durable, or fleeting, will make a huge difference, come next Winter.
Doubt it. From what we've seen with previous variants. We can hope that there won't be new variants emerging for a while. But at least we should enjoy a respite for the time being.
CDC. You’re a joke

WORLD ( 5,883,641 global deaths / 7,928,002,023 global population ) x 100 = 0.074 % mortality rate, or death rate over twenty six months.
USA ( 955,497 US deaths / 331,002,651 US population ) x 100 = 0.289 % mortality rate, or death rate.
Therefore, the Davos-China-2019 virus is enormously survivable.
99.711% survivable in the US. and 99.926 % worldwide.
That's what the data says.
If one trusts the site, one should trust the data. If one doesn't trust the data, why trust the site?
Do you ever join any other discussions that don't include the chi-com19 created virus?
Every day that I'm out and about, I see fools like you, with their filthy rags tied around their mouth, nose exposed and looking sanctimonious and stoopid.
It's a free country, and you can spout your fear stats, but do you really believe them?
It’s beginning to look a lot like genocide video. It shows people just keeling over with ‘rare’ side effects.

The puzzling thing about the UK is their death counts wrt last winter are lower than the US. In terms of % thereof.
If I had to guess, I’d guess temperatures. US winters much colder. People forced inside to the furnace and contained virus.
US deaths far higher compared to last winter’s spike vs UK’s modest bump. Both countries should be seeing both vax and pre infection immunity dying about now. Astrazeneca had weaker numbers, but they are dying less.
Puzzling.
Maybe reporting criteria (what counts as a COVID death) might account for some of the reported differences between the USA and the UK.
It sure makes a whopping difference in China’s stats.
I would suspect that the populations are similar but perhaps in the U.S., we have more comorbidities.
Nope. Hypertension in the UK has the same 65+ trigger. Saw an article on this recently. Like so:
“65+ UK citizens numbering at least 1 of 2 have HBP”. HBP is defined as over 140/90. (Clearly 1 of 2 is less than US 77%, but)
The UK criteria becomes 150/95 for 85+. Goal posts move a bit. That would lower their HBP stat.
“At least” 1 of 2 and then note the lessening of reqmts for 85+ and it’s very reasonable to conclude numbers similar to 77% exist in the UK.
This is the #2 comorbidity among the dead. #1 Dementia.
Since at-home testing is not reportable, DHEC (SC) will no longer report daily case counts as of March 15.
The department will continue to report hospitalizations and deaths on a weekly basis.
So we will see states stop reporting case counts.
Cases have been largely useless since day 1. For trend tracking, you were at the mercy of the whims of people. Did they go to get tested or not. This is no way to track things.
Deaths are the yardstick of the world.
Important factoid just making the rounds.
2/3 of US infections as of January in Omicron dense regions are re-infections. Recovered immunity 1) doesn’t last long and 2) doesn’t prevent omicron infection.
We’ll need some time to see if omicron’s recovered immunity duration is also short.
That would be my guess. We'll enjoy it while it lasts. I think we've learned enough from Alpha, Delta and other variants that this appears to be the case, unfortunately. We'll have to keep this in mind 6 months from now (or in a year) when the next variant may emerge.
Correction, the study is British. Not US. 2/3 of their omicron examined infections are reinfections.
Not much reporting today due to the holiday. We’ll see if it returns to “normal” tomorrow. Even then, perhaps at least 10 states have stopped with their daily reporting.
A very serious problem. I think deaths may still be available, though perhaps not daily. You have to have data for the curves or you do not know what is going on, because no one telling you anything can be believed.
18 states did not report deaths today. Let’s see if they’ll report tomorrow. Or maybe they prefer to report by the end of the week.
The chart doesn’t look horrible. I think numbers are appearing after the close for a given day. If we had an overwhelming absence of reporting, the descent would go nearly vertical. Not doing that.
