Covid-19 Update -- August 23, 2021

Updates

Later, 10:00 p.m. CT: Japan -- the current surge began before the Tokyo Olympics ...

Later, 9:51 p.m. CT: tell me again the reason for a total lock down a year ago.

Original Post 

One of the most vaccinated states in the union, and no major professional events or other major indoor / outdoor events in the past month; no presidential birthday party bash; no motorcycle rallies: Oregon.

This corroborates what I've said all along regarding Wuhan flu.

Most interesting, whereas the surge in active cases is being seen across most states (being worst in Oregon), Oregon is also unique in the surge in deaths attributed to Covid-19, something not seen in most of the other states. 

No one cares: everything suggests Americans have moved on. 

Think about this: if there was one photograph this past year that put Covid-19 into perspective for Americans -- well, actually there were two:

• the first: that USAF cargo plane filled with 600 Afghan refugees and no one wearing masks;
• the second: that photograph that refuses to go away -- the Texas politicos fleeing the state on a plane, cramped quarters; FAA requires masks on commercials flights; and these politicos not wearing masks.

Think about this: why Americans will power through future Covid-19 variant surges, no more lock downs:

• Dr Fauci lost his credibility quite some time ago; previously posted;
• Joe Biden was elected "on" the Covid-19 issue; Joe Biden is the poster child for masks and lock downs; and, now, like Dr Fauci, because of Afghanistan, Joe Biden has lost all credibility. Americans have tuned him out. 
  

Think about this: stay-at-home workers seems to correlate with corporate productivity. Who would have thought?
