Via CNN (emphasis added):
It’s time to stock up on tissues, bingeable TV options and Covid-19 tests. Yes, many signs are pointing to a Covid-19 summer surge – although one that’s far less intense than what emerged the past few summers.
Experts say they do not expect that cases will be severe or that the uptick will be prolonged, and there are early signs from wastewater data that this wavelet may already be leveling out.
Looking at Daily New Cases here,
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ (and correcting a comment I've made previously), the daily numbers for the US are so low that it's hard to mouse-over the line and see the numbers. The numbers have been under 10K, consistently, since mid May, with num summer bump. Daily Deaths have been under 100 per day since the end of May. Anyone who fantasized, even in January 2020, that what came to be called Covid would magically disappear was fooling themselves. What has happened is that vaccine and recovery resistance plus virus mutation have, like the "Spanish Flu" of 1918, have made Covid much like modern influenza, unpleasant to most, deadly to a very few.
But CNN longs for the "Good Old Days" when Covid-lies helped defeat Donald Trump and Covid-hype was a tool to try to boost Brandon's public image.
