Hopefully the vaccine will work. But obviously on that graph, there was not enough people vaccinated to have any consequence when it was already clearly going down. I surmise we will find out in the fall. Viruses are seasonal. Praying the vaccines put an end to all this garbage.
I think Covid is a little bit seasonal but to start dropping in January like that? What kind of effed up seasonality is that? And it isn’t exactly cold and snowing in Mumbai right now. It’s 84 degrees at the moment. Brazil is pretty summery too. That’s not typically conducive to virus spread, not if you’re talking about Flu, RSV, Norovirus etc. I’m not sure seasonality is really a big factor for Covid, a small factor maybe. US cases and deaths both started dropping about the time or shortly after we were giving healthcare workers their second dose. I was at the front of the line for dose 1 and I got dose 2 on January 20th, a few hours before Biden was inaugurated. And, also, cases started dropping in April during wave 1-not mid January. Maybe it was the mitigation measures too?

Exactly.
