>As the US marks Memorial Day weekend and the unofficial start of summer, the seven-day average for COVID-19 cases in the U.S. are more than six times what they were a year ago.
>The Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center showed a seven-day average of 119,725 cases as of Saturday. That figure held at 17,887 cases on May 28 of last year.
YTD case comparison is kind of a dumb metric because respiratory illness waves are relatively brief and slight differences in weather year to year can cause a wave in one year to occur at the same date as a lull the previous year. THAT BEING SAID, the last month I've seen more "COVID exposure alert" emails at work than any other month over the last two years. Also, random people like landscape contractors or photographers will disappear for a week then call, apologizing that they were sick with COVID. This at a time our county and state health agencies have announced they're not bothering to track all cases. Shit's weird for sure.

Michigan just announced they are doing an add blitz since only 200k or so got vaccinated since january
Oliver Miller
Oh we're about to see a massive government overreaction for sure. Can't wait to be untouchable again.
Jordan Adams
I keep telling people it’s coming and they tell me I’m nuts.
Cooper Carter
Maybe the CDC is calculating prevalence based on sewage waste, like they claimed they would.
t. has covid right now. It sucks but it ain't much different than having a sinus infection for me.
Zachary Carter
If anything, they're undercounting. I know a dozen people who have had covid in the last week, all used home tests which means they're not included in the state and national data.

Not letting any of you niggers walk back the stupid shit you put me through.

My father got it a couple weeks ago, ofc he's vaxxed. The vaxxed are probably just going to get it over and over until their immune system completely fails and they die of something.
Christian Walker
Vaccine is working!!
Jordan Kelly
Liberal here. I've stopped caring, it's obvious who the virus is still purging at this point
Mind explaining why all-cause mortality is still elevated in blue states while covid deaths are down? Either covid deaths are being labeled as something else, or deaths by other causes are elevated for some reason.

My vaxxed coworkers are sick a lot. Mostly older, some fat. Mostly in us, canada, and europe. Oddly enough, indians are doing okay.
