Is Covid finally over in the USA

[Ver hut gazugt]

In the us just 5600 cases where reported today. To put that into perspective. That is the same population wise as Israel having 150 per day.

Are there any areas with a large chunk of cases?

We've gone through waves before, such as last summer. No way to know if it's really over until the fall.

Now is different. 50% of the country is vaccinated and this is the lowest number since last April.

The fact that you need to ping him shows that he's back to work, so yeah, this is over.

Mods should make a new board called The Museum and put all locked threads there

[YitzyS]

It's not over until the Covid board is dissolved. Or until this.

Can we also lock a few DDFers in the museum? “For posterity”

Of course it's different, but that doesn't mean there won't be a smaller wave in the fall.

All the ones that talk out of their posteriors.

Cases and hospitalizations are currently trending upwards in the UK - with >50% vaccinated with first dose. Definitely still some room for concern, before we unveil the banner on the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Not back at work yet, but if you've got something, my PMs are open.

I always have opinions, but I'm on a losing streak lately.

Hopefully this. I think the Covid we've seen until now is over, with regards to it being a full scale pandemic (and all that comes with that). Over over is very much dependant on the variants and how effective the vaccines are against them, and how many people ultimately get vaccinated.
