*4/3, 11:13 post updated at current post time with Hospitalizations on and through April 2
Okay Quasi's, you worthless pieces of shit, times up, 11 bells p.m. in the nighttime Normal Colonies Cop Time. I knew you were done at 8:01 p.m., you fucks. No H-numbers girls and wanna be girls. We'll go with what we got. We start with the total Dead in the United States since Feb. 3, 2020: 554,287, a horror wrapped in a disaster inside criminal negligence. We segue to this article today in the aforedescribed New York Times:
Virus Variants Threaten to Draw Out the Pandemic, Scientists Say
...it is increasingly clear that the next few months will be painful. So-called variants are spreading, carrying mutations that make the coronavirus both more contagious and in some cases more deadly.
Even as vaccines were authorized late last year, illuminating a path to the pandemic’s end, variants were trouncing Britain, South Africa and Brazil. New variants have continued to pop up...As they take root, these new versions of the coronavirus threaten to postpone an end to the pandemic.
...public health officials are deeply worried that future iterations of the virus may be more resistant to the immune response, requiring Americans to queue up for regular rounds of booster shots or even new vaccines.
“We don’t have evolution on our side,” said “This pathogen seems to always be changing in a way that makes it harder for us to suppress.”-Prof Devi Sridhar, University of Edinburgh.

We are never going to get rid of this thing. It's too good for us, too agile, too voracious.
And we transition on this cheery note to the numbers. Drum roll please, muffled drums, funereal.
14-day changes
+19% Cases. -1% Hospitalizations. -31% Deaths.
7-day changes (through April 2 unless indicated)
64.730 Cases. DOWN. Wancha take a look at the Quasi's 7-day graph:
You see the Big Drop ending in a wavy plateau that bottomed out in the March 23 iteration. Then you see a pretty steep hill climbing until topping off in the March 30. March 31, April 1, April 2 (so, March 24-April 2) we have been on a slight but distinct, jiggy-jaggy downslope. Given the write-up above how can it be anything other than aberrational? Looking at the graph of the entire history of the virus Cases in the U.S. you can find similar modest declines in the 7-day averages that have been false positives, but usually once this thing starts on a path, up or down, of seven days or more it gets momentum and really goes on a roll. Repeating, I cannot believe that that is going to happen here and it's just going to be like a snowball rolling downhill. To a standard of belief of "convincing" I think it's a false positive.
Third day in a row, I think, POJO has punched Hospitalizations down to keep them from going flat or into + territory. I thought H's would be above water last Tuesday. They're not. And Deaths, blessed Deaths, the cause of so much lost hope, continue to just get crushed.
40,665 Hospitalizations. Up.
851 Deaths. Down.
3,072,527 Vax. Up. That's an average of over 3M per day, guys. POJO has got only this one bullet left in the chamber.
2.09% Deaths-Hospitalizations rate. Down. Biden's lowest rate ever, and substantially below the Disgraced's final 2.34%
Dailies (April 2 unless, etc.)
68,844 Cases. Down. That's down almost 8k. Quasi's I am embarrassed for you.
41,300 Hospitalizations. Up.
961 Deaths. UP. Fuck off Death.
4,081,959 Vax. Wow. Up.
July 22 Herd Immunity Day. That's a two-day advance.
