We're getting historical.
Cases have been leveling for three weeks but leveling on a valley floor we haven't experienced much before. May 20-July 14 2021, our lowest low, we were under where we are now, 27,846 ave./day. On July 15, 2021 we surpassed the current number in the Delta Dawn. Not since. In Delta's Dusk we never got as low and then of course the O-bomb hit. The bottom has dropped out of the fallout from O. Before that you have to go back to LIBERATE! summer to find Cases as low as they are now. So eight months ago and seventeen months ago. If BA.2 is accounting for some of these new cases BA.2 is a dud.
Hospitalizations is even more exceptional. We're at a number, 16,761, not seen since exactly two years ago--Happy April Fools Day, btw. H's aren't leveling yet but there is a little curve to it's tip; it's not hanging straight down.
Deaths, you'd expect Deaths still to be descending rapidly given the interval, and they are, and they will continue to. At 698 ave./day they have undercut Delta's Dusk and, just recently the Fall 2021 trough, and will close, in a week or less, on the pre-LIBERATE! low.
Lookin' good Ells and Gees, lookin' good.
