People tend to make the common mistake of believing that a situation will last forever.
This is good - COVID number has been going down too hard, and we gotta get the number back up. Immunities will start wearing off right around Thanksgiving right? :awesome:

Only 841 Americans died from covid yesterday, about 4509 in the past week.

That's an annualized rate of around 230-235k deaths a year
ie,
slotting between cancer (599,601) and unintentional injuries/accidents (173,040) as the third leading cause of death in the US.

That's our new normal lol

No, it will go down like cases are. Seasonality and vaccine rates have basically taken care of COVID in the US until at least fall. There isn't a single metro area where cases are significantly increasing now. This mask change is basically a gently caress you to kids and immunocompromised people because our policymakers have decided to let outbreaks simmer through unvaccinated groups instead of wait for the background case rate to get extinguished first.

I did most of my shopping online but generally just did any in person shopping I needed to do during off hours. Now I'd rather just do anything I can online.

scientists are already questioning the need for boosters, the vaccine may last for years just like the childhood ones


Pfizer is the most miraculous vaccine ever created, it's saved our nation.

Yuup... and starting right about October, seasonality is going to flip and we're going to see a bigass spike and the question becomes whether anybody does anything about it or whether we wait until we have a big old clusterfuck that's too big to handle easily.

Theres's a big gap between cancer and unintentional injury/accidental death there, large enough for covid-19 to wax and wane seasonally and still stay the third largest cause of death in the US.
