I notice the lefties no longer want to talk about Covid. I guess if it turned out I was the one who was wrong about everything wrt Covid, I'd be ready to move on too.
Covid is not going away.

I just looked my state up... thankfully, we're doing much better these days.

The Covid surge continues:
Cases are up and deaths remain roughly the same - but as we all know, deaths lag cases. So the trend here is not good. I wonder when Brandon's "plan to beat covid" is going to start working?

Ten times the number of cases as last year at this time, but deaths are trending down while still over 100 more than last year at this time. And then there is this:
This Relentless COVID Variant Is the Most Dangerous One Yet
The BA.5 subvariant can slip past the body’s defenses easier than any of its predecessors.
Didn't Biden win based on his promise to "get control of the virus?"
I get why the left has abandoned this thread.

Hell no leftist are NOT going to do here as they did in 2020 or elsewhere either.

Joe is spending the Covid money on illegals:
Biden admin to move $860M in COVID funds to house illegal immigrant children
The Biden administration’s undoing of Trump’s border policies has prompted a flood of illegal migrants at the US border.

Vaccinations don’t work perfectly, and not enough people are vaccinated to have herd immunity which would be the best protection. But unvaccinated people are 5 times as likely to die of Covid as the rest of us.
Growing share of Covid-19 deaths are among vaccinated people, but booster shots substantially lower the risk
Since Covid-19 vaccines became widely available, there has been a wide gap in deaths between the vaccinated and unvaccinated. But recent Covid deaths are much more evenly split as highly transmissible variants take hold, vaccine protection wanes and booster uptake stagnates.

Go up to the beginning of this thread and you will be reminded that when Biden was elected we were averaging 1100 deaths per day from Covid. He dropped the ball on vaccination, but the 96% reduction in the death rate is fairly impressive.

Given the 96% decrease in weekly Covid deaths since November 2020 due to the successful implementation of a leftist program, I think many people just consider it a less pressing issue.

You understand that the false and misleading claims about Covid are intended to promote big-business recklessness at the expense of public health and a right-wing class-war agenda, right?

No it isn't - the disease just ran out of elderly ill and infirm people to kill, so the pace of death has declined. Just as it would have if we had done nothing.

What about cases? When the deaths started dropping under Trump you lefties deftly switched to case loads as the "relevant" metric - no concern over a 500% increase in cases? Why are deaths up by over 100 a day from last year - that sure doesn't look like Brandon has the disease "under control" as he promised to do if elected.

Latest figures show cases and deaths going in the wrong direction. Plus reports of a new variant that could actually be even more transmissable yet just as deadly as Omicron.
Then there's this:

Study that shows that natural immunity is far superior to the experimental vaccines President Brandon was so insistent that even those with natural immunity get anyway.
Looks like he "Afghanistaned" the Covid response so it's no wonder the left want to drop all mention of Covid after talking about nothing but, until it became clear that virtually nothing they believed about the disease was correct, and that which they labeled "disinformation" and "conspiracy theory," well, was.

Hooboy, cases and deaths both moving up now - is a new "wave" upon us? No wonder the left, who insisted that Brandon was winning the "war on covid" are now all like, covid who? Of course, the normal (read: non-covidiots) all knew that it was 1) never going away, no matter what we did and 2) the left was simply using it to exert control over us. #neveragain

The remaining question is, will all of the damage done by the left wing covidiots with their lockdowns, mandates and masking ever be undone?
New data suggest that the damage has been worse than almost anyone expected. Locking kids out of school has prevented many of them from learning how to read properly. Before the pandemic 57% of ten-year-olds in low and middle-income countries could not read a simple story, says the World Bank. That figure may have risen to 70%, it now estimates. The share of ten-year-olds who cannot read in Latin America, probably the worst-affected region, could rocket from around 50% to 80% (see chart 1).
Children who never master the basics will grow up to be less productive and to earn less. McKinsey, a consultancy, estimates that by 2040 education lost to school closures could cause global gdp to be 0.9% lower than it would otherwise have been—an annual loss of $1.6trn. The World Bank thinks the disruption could cost children $21trn in earnings over their lifetimes—a sum equivalent to 17% of global gdp today. That is much more than the $10trn it had estimated in 2020, and also an increase on the $17trn it was predicting last year.

White House urges caution on COVID variants, pushes boosters
Walensky said the U.S. has seen a doubling in the number of hospitalizations due to COVID-19 since April, reflecting the spread of the new subvariants, though deaths have remain steady around 300 per day.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, said while the new variants are concerning, with boosters, indoor masking and treatments the country has the tools to keep them from being disruptive.
"We should not let it disrupt our lives," he said, "but we cannot deny that it is a reality that we need to deal with."
He added that even if someone recently had COVID-19, they should get a booster.
"Immunity wanes, so it is critical to stay up to date with COVID 19 vaccines," he said.

You made that up.
Yes, Biden’s failure of leadership helps explain the 60% increase in the death rate over this time last year. Just as Trump’s failure of leadership helps explain the 900% increase in the death rate from when he said the virus would disappear to when he left office.
