This is how it will likely go for the slower vaccine rollout states, 10-15% declines month over month the next couple of months, while faster states are about to see the numbers fall right off a cliff in mid May. It is unfortunate that we have all the resources but maybe not the will to win. I'm curious as to where you see this. This is a daily data dump a guy makes based on state reporting data. Green lines are 7-day moving averages. We're flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green lines are 7-day moving averages. We're flat. You can see it in the chart in the bottom left. A month ago the 7 day average was around 1200 and it’s now 1050 or so. It’s “flat” relative to the entirety of the pandemic, but it isn’t actually flat month over month though it may indeed bottom out and stay in that ~1000 cases/day range for the foreseeable future. If I had to make a wager I would bet on it continuing to slowly decrease in that 10% month over month rate in May and June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 If your only calculus is risk to self, Rogan is right. But vaccination isn’t just about risk to self, it’s about stopping as many people as possible from being potential nodes of spread. But one needs to have some sense of civic responsibility to embrace that idea, and the sort of people who are really into Rogan’s show don’t strike me as having much care for the well-being of others.

We've been in lockdown since November 23rd, we're in our second state of emergency during the lockdown, the military has been called in to help our hospitals -- including the field hospital that is being set up in a parking lot, and B1617 is now just starting to appear and has been detected in Ontario, BC and Alberta. How is it not "horrible"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in the post you quoted, it's horrible by the standard we are trying to hold ourselves to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
