The seven-day average of daily coronavirus cases in the U.S. surpassed the peak seen last summer when the nation didn't have an authorized vaccine...U.S. Covid cases, based on a seven-day moving average, reached 72,790 on Friday, according to data compiled by the CDC...That's higher than the peak in average daily cases seen last summer, when the country was reporting about 68,700 new cases per day...

The linked story makes you read 8 paragraphs before they tell you that the Fatality Rate is dramatically lower in 2021 than in 2020 - in spite of a higher infection rate in 2021.

In August 2020 (before the vaccine), the Fatality Rate peaked for two weeks above 8,200 per week.

In June-July 2021, the COVID Fatality Rate has been below 2,000 a week for seven consecutive weeks, based on Death Certificate totals from NCHS.

The CDC stresses that almost all the people who die are un-vaccinated - implying that a vaccination is saving thousands of lives each week.

90% of Americans over 65 years of age have been vaccinated, so it is possible that is true.

On the other hand, until the CDC gives us 2021 age group and heath data on the people who are dying today, there is no way to know that.

The lower death toll could mean that the Delta variant is weaker than the original virus.

Or, it could mean that more Americans have more potent natural immunity after having non-symptomatic COVID in the previous 18 months.

Keep in mind, CDC and CNBC live to create fake news.

OTOH, we see Biden has failed.

Not a surprise since we are being invaded by millions of criminals from poor countries who travel and live together ensuring many are infected. The Feds are then shipping these invaders to every corner of the country which further spreads the disease, which had been under control.

NYS counts asymptomatics, probables, and repeat positives of the same patient as new cases.

Our stats are crap.

Bet all the nation’s stats are crap.

“In June-July 2021, the COVID Fatality Rate has been below 2,000 a week for seven consecutive weeks, based on Death Certificate totals from NCHS.”

And due to the admitted unreliability of the reorting of whether death ocurred with the virus or because of the virus and given the very test used to determine a china virus infection has been determined to be wholly unreliable, none of this crap is believable in the least.

**Fatality rate**
Horse do-do! Never a distinction between dying with covid and dying from covid. And not one person died from the common flu last year - down thousands from 2019.

I’m beginning to suspect PCR tests can’t distinguish between Covid and a Cocker Spaniel.

I think your analysis is quite correct. The only thing I would consider is that this is the natural evolution of pandemics. Viruses become more contagious but less dangerous as it evolves.

As FLCCV states all modalities are important. In this case what we did not achieve with vaccines will be achieved through contagion. With the renewed interest in vaccination in the setting of this strain I think we will see what happened in England. A sudden and relatively impressive spike that fades quickly. And I think it will leave us with herd immunity.

All in all good news.

And the CDC also thinks Jamaica is bigger than Russia.

Usually, but always.

The Spanish Flu is an example of one that became more dangerous

Some parts of the country were still close last summer. Considering that 68700 to 72790 is not a significant increase.

It is in Nature's plan that viruses enhance there survival by becoming less virulent and more communicable - DUH!

I will only believe the hype when corpses begin piling up along the roadsides, the inevitable outcome of the pandemic they describe daily.

Everyone knows we are being played.

So what are they doing about it? They are powerless. They are crippled. They are inert bundles of horse spit.

The bug struck last year. The medical establishment has had 15 months in which to find some kind of solution. It came up with various vaccines, declared the problem solved, and stopped trying.

People have been getting jabbed since December. Today we are told that we are again in a crisis situation.

When are they going to find a real solution? A: never, if they continue as they are doing now.

It will be a summer of mask mandates and blaming the non-vaxxed (only the White Republicans and the religious nuts, of course. A certain constituency gets a free pass.)

There yah go, the cogent point. FDA withdraws a fundamentally failed/fake test and the CDC still goes ahead with it. And, they quit counting those who have been vaxxed — wouldn’t want numbers out on how it is not a vaccine, now would you?

If we had more of this kind of exposure last year it wouldve been gone by now. Lockdowns regardless of the strain , only serve to prolong the pain. Its clear that natural immunity ,in combination with (effective) vaccines is the key to ending this and most pandemics. Its also clear at this point natural immunity is far more potent vs this virus than the “vaccine”.
