Very few of the COVID deaths have been of vaxxed and boostered people.
Are the unboosted also committing mortal sins wherein they need to face postmortem punishment? Death really out to be enough regardless of vax status.
I’m at a loss as why you thought my post was about being vaxxed or not. I was just making a black humor joke and a weak one at that.
There are definitely people who cheer on the death of unvaxxed and harass their survivors. I interpreted your comment that way. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

The Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Map of the US showing daily reported new cases of COVID (7 day average) is a uniform blah – cases are hovering around the same low values, and no states – including Maine – are anywhere near their record highs, and don’t show any signs of going that way.
the US is doing pretty good compared to the rest of the world, with about 84,000 daily cases, fewer than in South Korea, Germany, or Russia. We’re about even with Vietnam, but we’re decreasing while their cases are going up.
My post was in response to another post that was also not breaking news. Thanks.

Okay, out of the blue another state is reporting a new record high in daily reported new COVID cases 97-day average). Is this another case of newly reported but already existing cases causing a statistical blip, as apparently happened in Maine recently?
Nebraska suddenly shot up to a record high of 5502 cases as of yesterday, Feb 28 2022, far exceeding their previous high of 4444 back on January 17.
A couple of other states report slight rises – Alaska, Washington, and Nevada, but not surprising or large increases. And Maine reports an amazing decrease, which is probably as believable as its previous amazingly fast rise.
Globally, the Us is looking much better than other countries, with new daily reported cases below 10,000 and lower than those of South Korea, Russia, Germany, and Vietnam. As far as total cases go, we’re lower than Germany and Russia.
The global number of weekly reported new cases continues to decline. We’re about where we were at the beginning of the year – still higher than it had ever been before that point, but at least it’s still declining.
So much for kids hardly ever get it
Was that the popular sentiment? I thought it was they were less likely to develop symptoms and get hospitalized. Those numbers are not surprising to me, at least.
I think we’re looking at a million people dead in the USA before the end of next week.

For whatever reason, Nebraska continues to be shooting upwards, breaking yesterday’s record daily high reported new case (7-day average) with a new one of 5530. (You can see on the “cases in your state” section daily actual non-averaged reported cases that for the past few days its just shy of 22,000 cases per day, so this trend will continue for several more days)

phila. has seen a rather dramatic decline in cases (171 new cases reported yest…). just in time for me to get new specs. i’m not sure if my office will change its protocol, we have been w f h starting march 13, 2020. today we have 5 people in the office. i do like the office with less people…the firm does not like paying a rather large rent for a mostly empty office.

Nebraska, as you’d expect, hit a new Daily Record High (7-day average) yesterday, eclipsing the previous two days. It’s up to 5580 now.
If this is the result of a data dump, or something, this will continued for a couple of days.
all the other states are simmering along with no big changes, except Maine, the site of the last such anomaly, which is now ironically showing a dramatic decrease, and is thus dark blue on the map.
Globally, the US is way down, at 43,000 daily reported cases (7-day average), and well behind at least six other countries.
The NYT graphs are a bit hard to parse finely, but I haven’t seen Nebraska’s rate rising there. In the state case breakouts, it’s last. On the cases per capita by county map, it looks pretty good. The New Reported Cases table shows a 14-day change of -70%. I do see the rate of death increasing, but that’s a lagging indicator and daily average deaths is 12.1.
I see a peak on 1/19 of 5499 cases, steadily dropping to a 3/2 report of 198.
Help me understand the discreancy between what we’re seeing.
This should be accessible:
I also see Idaho as the state in the worst shape currently:
