The Delta Dud

Listening to the Drooling Kohlrabi's* massive noise-machine, you'd think that it's all over but the shouting.

Reality is VERY different.

The delta variant-driven summer COVID-19 surge in the United States has so far proved much less deadly than previous waves, thanks in large part to vaccinations.

The number of cases is approaching the levels seen in previous surges. The seven-day average of daily cases has risen as high as 66,606, close to the peak of 68,622 seen during the summer surge of 2020.

Yet hospitalizations have been much lower. Daily hospitalizations so far have hit 31,148 at the highest, far below the 58,488 hospitalizations, for instance, in the spring surge of 2020. Likewise, daily deaths have so far reached a high of 296, only about a tenth of the peak during the winter....

There's no bang in that buck.  Did The Vax work?  Maybe.

But it's well-known that viruses become less potent with each new variant, so the Chinese bio-weapon developed with US taxpayer money (courtesy Fraudci) is becoming Last Year's news.
