No comment, no arrow, even a caveman should be able to "read" this graph.
One comment. I can't resist.
I think one can make a case that the pandemic in the US was receding well before the vaccine rollout ever began. Maybe not, I don't know. On the other hand, the vaccine rollout in the EU is not going well and the EU is back into lockdowns due to things getting worse. Anyway, that seems to be what the headlines are saying; I'm not following the story very closely any more.
An article on powerline discusses how most of covid deaths would have soon died. The result being after 1 yr total deaths are rapidly falling. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteThese pandemics tend to burn themselves out. The Spanish flu of 1918 ended and no one has been able to explain why. No vaccine was ever developed.
DeleteLikewise, there are studies that suggest smallpox was waning before the vaccines were developed, though in that case, smallpox was completely eradicated once the vaccines became available.
