Despite supposedly having ~10% of the country get infected, who shouldn't be getting new infections, we have more infections per day than ever. Oh, and with about 25% of people "fully vaccinated". https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

Daily #s now: 85k infections (deaths ~1k/day)

6 months ago: 50-60k infections (deaths 1k)

9 months ago: 50-60k infections (deaths 1.5k)

1 year ago: 30k infections (deaths 2.7k)

In my state of MI which had hard lockdowns throughout, we have >8k cases/day, close to our highest peak. Either these numbers have nothing to do with COVID or all of these measures achieved nothing. Or both, but at least one must be true. But Florida, with more than double the population of MI, has 7k per day, 30% lower than 9 months ago.

But hey, it's fun to be all over the place.

"The numbers are going up because people aren't FOLLOWING the restrictions! The answer is to lock down harder!"

it is day 400 something of 2 weeks to slow the spread.
