If so, then don’t just look at the positive tests but at the graph that shows tests performed. Positive tests goes up but tests performed is relatively the same. That tells you it is a real increase in positivity. It could be the start of another big peak, or not. Time will tell, but you’d think going through the last years one should pay attention to such statistics. Because if you start taking measures only when you are back to 100.000+ cases a day you are a bit too late.
it’s just that it is still such a small number of cases that it doesn’t matter.
To the best of my knowledge there is no meaningful surveillance in the USA or EU. Some places are still doing wastewater testing but it’s difficult to make solid determinations from wastewater.
Is there still surveillance in the UK? Afaik Wales is still doing wastewater testing, but I’m not aware of any other systematic surveillance being conducted now.
If I’m reading that right they did 30k tests and got 6k positives, about 17%. I would consider that enough infection going around to be very concerned. Am I misunderstanding those numbers?
Right back at you. Please show me where I am not “chill” here? There is one person who is not chill and its certainly not me.
You can still choose to wear a mask or not, theres no law yet or is there? So just don’t, I guess?
The smaller bumps by the way occur because people kept getting vaccines and boosters. How does that look like where you are? When was the last time you got a shot or a booster? From the sound of it a while ago.
you’re right, i’m sorry. it’s just downplaying a deadly and ongoing virus and dismissing the most effective method of protection against it as not necessary.
No, because if hysteria would be an appropriate response it wouldn’t be hysteria. The good news is: no one is calling for hysteria, there’s just a recommendation to wear masks.
I “admit” committed is funny because that’s what COVID and all of the “I did my own research” hoopla has made me feel like. That I’ve been committed to an insane asylum with all of the loonies spreading their theories justifying their behavior without impunity thereby making COVID more deadly as it lasts longer given such time to continuously mutate…
You mean this data? https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

this proves you don’t understand what you’re talking about at all. there was never a compelling reason to stop masking according to the data. period.

that’s nice. it’s also tantamount to covid denial, so you can just take it and shove it right back up your ass where it came from.
