Places with highest daily reported cases per capita
Seven-day average of daily new reported cases per 100,000 residents
I continue to be amazed at how numbers which had people running around like Chicken Little a year ago (including many self declared “patriotic conservatives”) can barely merit even a yawn, except from the most extreme of the Covidians.
Because we found out the numbers are bogus
As of 23 February 2022 in the world of worldometers.info:
( 5,936,424 global deaths / 7,929,263,799 global population 0 x 100 = 0.075 % global mortality rate.
( 966,530 worldometers USA deaths / 331,002,651 Americans ) x 100 = 0.29 % mortality rate in USA over twenty-six months of tallying the confirmed and presumed and estimated....
"...the numbers may be a little bit off...."
Between the USA and the world, the US is about 3.9 times worse -- which must mean something is "off."
What could it possibly be?
$ incentives for deaths code as due to Covid.
Everything declining nicely.
I looked at some of the States that started the Omicron wave early (NE Corridor), to see how their curves were tailing out, as a possible indicator of how things might go Nationally. Looks good so far. No significant plateauing, like the UK experienced.
The billion home test kits that the Sleepy Joe Administration bought have started arriving in the mail, so fewer people will likely be going in for tests, and therefore its likely that fewer of the positive results will be reported.
New policies will also likely reduce the reported numbers hospitalized or died from COVID, over the coming weeks. In addition to the real drops that we are still seeing, these changes will likely accelerate the drop in reported numbers further.
I’m guessing the migration of the workforce back into the office will pick up steam in March, including FedGov employees.
When the count is in, today’s daily death count will be about 2600. That’s about 250 more than same day last year.
Ukraine is a godsend to the Administration. They can get the deaths off the front page and maybe quietly start the victory over Covid narrative beneath the Ukraine news.
Victory over Covid has been clearly their only hope in the midterms for sometime now.
“Victory over Covid has been clearly their only hope in the midterms for sometime now.”
It seems to me that the (real) decline in COVID is pretty much baked into the cake by the very high levels of accumulated immunity, and that the Democrats in Government are further putting their thumbs on the scale to accelerate the reported declines.
Conventional wisdom now is that the State of the Union Address, scheduled for March 1st, will likely be the declaration of victory, and signal a raft of re-opening policies, to give the economy some boost going into the mid-terms as well.
I don’t think immunity is cumulative. If there is immunity gathered in August of last year to Delta, it will be 6 months old about now and thus begin to crash in effectiveness.
Keep an eye on the monthly study updates from the REACT people in London (Imperial Univ or something). Their most recent report said about 5-10% of current cases had documented pre-infections of over 1 month old. Get to 6 or 8 and dying starts.
And this is purely age. Not variant, the next one of which is due about now.
Usually as one tails off the next one is apparent. There is currently no clear variant on the horizon, so I respectfully disagree. Omicron was the natural vaccination that finished off this pandemic, which is how you would generally expect a pandemic to end.
I think we are done.
You people are such sheep and don’t even realize it
We were done on day one. There was no pandemic. The numbers were bogus. Do you have a dancing tic tock video out there from when you all were swamped with the dying?
People have thought we are done for what, 20 months?
Zero reason to think so.
You seem to be discounting long lasting memory B cells and T cells.
“There is currently no clear variant on the horizon”
I’d assess that there is extremely little room left for another variant to run, even if there was one in the wings.
The BA.2 sub-variant of Omicron is around 50% more infectious than the original Omicron, but apparently about the same for severity or immune evasiveness. It is expected to become the dominant lineage (a growing slice of the shrinking pie), as it has in other areas where it got an earlier start (like Denmark and South Africa, where cases continued dropping, while BA.2 became dominant).
It is likely to only make a minor marginal stretch out to the tail of the Omicron wave. So far, nothing noticeable.
I too, think we are (effectively) done with all the hoopla and over-reaching restrictions. I expect case levels to scrape low, like last Summer, before Delta.
We will probably see some seasonal resurgence in the future, and an ongoing vaccination effort, but I think that the restrictions will drop, and folks will be heading back into the office in earnest next month.
Seems likely. The main questions are. How long does your immunity last? From a vaccine? Or from an infection? How will they hold against variants?
We are assuming that this pandemic will end similar to the Spanish flu 100 years ago but there's no guarantee that will be the case. I am not an expert in this field so I cannot provide an educated guess. All I can share is my opinion.
I am hoping that this thing will end with a whimper. But I think that there's a variant lurking on the other aide of the world that is just about to explode. We will probably see it in 6-9 months and this may turn out to be a seasonal thing. But with the population having some prior immunity, hopefully the next season won't be as devastating.
Given that the "pandemic" was officially declared in March 2020, and the WHO rushed its April 16, 2020 taxonomy including "presumed" and "assumed," and given that by only three months later, the Schwab and Malleret "COVID-19: The Great Reset" was published at the beginning of July 2020, one may see that the "event" has been oriented towards hyping fear for profits to chosen liability-shielded companies, as well as to pushing for government mandates around the world while suppressing potential therapeutics, the "great reset" game was the goal to be achieved.
LONG BEFORE the FDA started approving some drugs while being disapproving of others.
To accept the "numbers" -- of which it was amusing noted, "the numbers may be a little bit off" -- as fact when the pre-mRNA time shows the "great reset" already being marketed shows a lack of clarity as to how the "event" came to be. Wandering off into the "data" weeds keeps the focus away from the obvious.
One only need look at the confluence of the medical-industrial complex (coupled to the NIH and CDC) in partnership with the WHO, China and GAVI to see that from January to the beginning of July of 2020, ALL the pieces were in place. To save the world from Covid? No. To further the narrative of "COVID-19: The Great Reset."
--- "$ incentives for deaths code as due to Covid."
AKA the Plandemic.
The time line certainly suggests planning, does it not? Such "planning would better be descrived as collusion.
Additionally, give the RT-PCR test was coded in Berlin, Germany, in January of 2020 based on CHINESE data which later is no longer available, and that test accepted by the EU powers-that-be in February, before the pandemic was officially anounced in March, one might conclude that much pre-arrangement was done. And the Schwab and Malleret "COVID-19: The Great Reset" was published at the beginning of July 2020.
Those who merely chatter about "the numbers" have lost sight of the timeline for the various components of the overall "event."
But, if the believers believe their data, then ....
( 5,936,424 global deaths / 7,929,263,799 global population 0 x 100 = 0.075 % global mortality rate.
The "COVID-19: The Great Reset" is aimed DIRECTLY at our individual liberty, such that, through fear porn about Covid-19 and the Digital Covid Passport, we will be "free" to travel when the commissars say so.
Doesn't sound very "medical," does it?
