From your data, it looks like the sum total of many non-pharmaceutical interventions: border control, testing and quarantining, social distracting, school closings and lockdowns of various degrees and durations, hygiene - masking, hand sanitizing, etc - are more than effective enough to keep people healthy and alive --- even with delta in the works. Throw vaccination on top of that and you have enviable situations like Iceland, Vietnam, SK, etc.

So, again, looking at the USA ...
Currently, the "cases" are going down sharply in the largest-contributor states (FL, TX, CA, TN, NC, OH, GA) but since "deaths" always lag by two weeks or so, the absolute number of deaths per day is near a shocking 2000/day.
The worst peak, at midpoint, was near 3,500/day and the initial wave of death, which rampaged thru NYC and NJ, was about 2,200/day.

I chat with neighbors as I walk the dog, and today I found out that my backdoor neighbor's brother in law (in Carson, site of yesterday's earthquake) died of Covid-19.
According to her, he had liver cancer and survived, developed kidney failure and lived on dialysis for years, got a kidney transplant and was doing great, only to be felled by Covid.
According to her, his whole family including son and daughter in-law who lived with him had Covid. They all thought they had persistent colds.
None of them were vaccinated.
The found him unresponsive this morning.

Man... I was going back through this thread to find a particular post about how pissed off I was that I witnessed an old lady cry at the beginning of this pandemic because she was so scared and I couldn't even give a woman who obviously needed one a hug because she would have recoiled in horror if I'd done so.
Doing it because of this video here with Bill Maher and what he has to say about the responsibility of the Legacy Media for terrorizing all of you.

But boy... Is there mountains of terror regurgitated right in this thread dating back to February of last year. Most of it is entirely untrue with 20/20 hindsight too.
You all really should go back and take a look and see how awful you were over misinformation and lies.
It's really quite embarrassing, if you ask me.
Here's a little something I said back back in March of 2020.

And I'm still doing it a year and a half later.
Glad to have you on board, Bill Maher.

COVID-19 In Norway Can Now Be Compared To The Flu, Says Health Chief
Friday, Sep 24, 2021 - 03:30 AM
By Frazer Norwell of TheLocal.de
Coronavirus can now be categorised as one of several respiratory illnesses with seasonal variation, Geir Bukholm, assistant director of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH), has said.
For the past year and a half, Covid-19 has been classed as a generally dangerous disease. However, this could change soon as the assistant director of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH), Geir Bukholm, has said the coronavirus can now be put in the same category as illnesses such as flu, common colds and RS (respiratory syncytial virus).
“We are now in a new phase where we must look at the coronavirus as one of several respiratory diseases with seasonal variation,” Bukholm told paper VG.
Last week the Ministry of Health and Social Care asked the NIPH to assess whether Covid-19 was still a dangerous disease.
While the NIPH has yet to return its findings, its assistant director has made it clear that the danger of Covid will be downgraded.
Covid could now be compared in severity with the likes of colds and flu because the vast majority of those at most risk of developing severe disease when infected are now fully vaccinated.
“And although the infection is still circulating, hospital numbers remain low. Thus, the coronavirus will not lead to a heavy burden on the health service. For those vaccinated who may become infected and develop symptoms, the vast majority will have mild cold-like symptoms.”
However, Bukholm did warn that even though Covid could now be compared with other common respiratory illnesses, the pandemic was far from over.
"The pandemic is not over as long as it exists in the world and in countries where the vaccine coverage is still low. As long as the diseases spread throughout the world, there is still a pandemic,” Bukholm cautioned.
VG has speculated that the disease being downgraded could be a sign that the lifting of the final national Covid-19 restrictions could be just around the corner.
The paper points to Denmark and the lifting of restrictions there once coronavirus was no longer considered a dangerous disease.
Last week health minister Bent Høie offered a glimpse at what Norway would look like once measures were lifted but didn’t offer a date for when restrictions would be lifted.

You're not only lying about what others have posted, you're lying about what YOU have posted.
Is that how you retrive your sense of righteousness - by lying?

Go ahead and look at the posts from the first five months.
I'm not lying about what everybody else posted. You should all be embarrassed.
