COVID-19 BIDEN+184

Bad
Bad
Good!

Isn't that amazing? After bottoming out on July 5 cases have been Bang, Zoom, to the moon. Hospitalizations low was June 29. Every iteration of the 7-day average since has been Whoa! Deaths high was July 14; every it since, nine straight its has been down. The cases-hospitalizations interval is one week; those graphs are current through July 22; cases started an uninterrupted rise July 6. But hospitalizations had already been rising for a week before cases did. Does not make sense. If we ignore June 29 and count from July 6, then the rise in hospitalizations from July 13 is explained. We can make no sense of the death rate, however. The hospitalization-death interval is two-three weeks. Hospitalizations began their uninterrupted rise June 30. We should have seen deaths peaking July 13-20. We don't. We see the opposite, deaths declining every it since July 14.

Delta is responsible for 83% of the new cases. More than 97% of new H's are unvaxed. So why aren't more of these deplorables dying? Could it be that Delta, though hugely more contagious than the original, and seriously sickening many, many, many of those it infects, isn't as fatal as the original?
