The Path to Recovery: How to Re-Open America

Only a few weeks ago... you were predicting a variant apocalypse and I had to tell you... you were a moron...



The issue is that despite vaccinations the case totals are rising. Europe recognizes this is a crisis and is taking active measures to lockdown. As usual, the U.S. tends to lag what is occurring in Europe - the governors in the U.S. are actively eliminating restrictions -- while ignoring the reality of COVID variants which may overwhelm the U.S. in a couple months. Our only hope is rising vaccination levels -- at this point it is a race in the U.S. between vaccinations and variants. If the U.S. had simply followed the best public health practices until the beginning of June the probability of a deadly COVID surge in the U.S. would have been nearly eliminated.






America is finally winning its fight against the coronavirus

America’s battle against the coronavirus is going great.

The big picture: For the first time in a long time, nobody needs to cherry-pick some misleading data to make it seem like things are going well, and the good news doesn’t need an endless list of caveats, either. It’s just really good news. We’re winning. Be happy.

By the numbers: The U.S. averaged fewer than 40,000 new cases per day over the past week.
  • That’s a 21% improvement over the week before, and the first time the daily average has dipped below 40,000 since September — eight months ago.
  • New cases declined last week in 37 states. Not a single state moved in the wrong direction.
Deaths from the coronavirus are at their lowest level since last July — about 600 per day, on average, per the AP, and may soon hit their lowest point of the entire pandemic. Nationally, hospitalization rates are also falling significantly.

The U.S. is finally winning its battle against COVID-19 thanks almost exclusively to one weapon: the vaccines.
  • More than 107 million Americans have gotten both doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, and the vaccination drive in the U.S. has been underway for nearly six months. All of that real-world experience has confirmed that the vaccines are highly effective, and it has produced no new safety concerns.
  • 99.7% of hospitalized coronavirus patients are unvaccinated, the Cleveland Clinic said this week — more real-world evidence that the vaccines prevent the type of serious infections that were killing over 3,000 Americans per day just a few months ago.
What’s next: Almost 60% of American adults have gotten at least one shot, and roughly 45% are fully vaccinated. The next step: vaxxing the 12- to 15-year-olds.
  • Demand seems to be slowing, but continuing to get more shots into more arms is essential to cementing America’s progress — and the safe return to work, school, restaurants and travel that can come with it.

Actually I stated the U.S. was in a race between rising vaccinations and increasing variants out until June. It has been critical to reduce the cases and community spread while we tried to win this race. Fortunately due to rising vaccinations it appears the U.S. is winning this race -- however the stall in vaccinations due to the vaccine hesitancy can put a damper on the entire situation as we go into the fall.

As predicted -- recommendations on restrictions would be eased by the CDC as the U.S. made progress in vaccinations.

Sadly due to anti-vaxxers the U.S. will not reach herd immunity -- we will have enough people vaccinated to slow the spread -- but COVID will remain ever-present in our communities, likely leading to regional or local restrictions when COVID breaks out in a city or community. If you want to totally eliminate COVID and get back to life the way it was before COVID appeared then nearly everyone needs to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

Science will of course advance therapeutics and anti-vaxxer, science deniers will claim victory as rate of fatalities drop.

You were advocating lockdowns....and you were acting like the governors should not be easing restrictions.

you were stupid and fear mongering as usual.

If your country has a low COVID vaccination rate (like most of Europe) and rising COVID cases then you better be locking down & imposing restrictions for the health of your citizens. Basic common sense based on proper public health practices.
 
Its amazing you are still this stupid even weeks later.


... after seeing lockdown areas which follow you advice having to lock down over and over...

While Texas and Florida, defying your lock down stupidity and dire warnings of apocalypse then variant apocalypse are seeing their infections and death rates steadily declining.

You are a fascist drone... and a lying moron.
