Covid 19 -- Third Wave

Updates

Later, 5:24 p.m. CT: this is quite fascinating. Prior to the "Biden mandate," daily Covid vaccinations were trending toward 600,000 / day. Now, about a month after the "Biden mandate," Covid vaccinations are trending toward 1.5 million / day. 

Later, 4:42 p.m. CT: this is pretty cool. I posted the original post earlier this morning. The point was obvious .... later this afternoon, Josh Young, over at twitter, noted the same thing. Link here His points:

  • tracking cases is meaningless (and has been since the get-go);
  • hospitalizations and deaths a better metric, but also have shortcomings;
  • personal observations: separating fact from fantasy.

Original Post

Covid-19: Minnesota --

  • at year-long high;
  • CBS Minnesota: "doctors urge Minnesotans to get vaccinated"; why get vaccinated? Asking for a friend.
    • restrictions; masking rules still apply;
    • medications available to treat disease;
  • graphics here: third wave

 
Colorado in the news two weeks ago: currently in third wave, also; deaths way down; why get vaccinated, asking for a friend? Medications now available. Graphics here.

Florida: third wave completed; graphics here.

Texas: third wave completed; graphics here.

North Dakota: closing out its second wave; graphics here.
