Tyler: Obviously, keep up on your shots (and mask if you're high-risk/uncomfortable doing otherwise), but honestly, this is a textbook pandemic arc (one or more tightly clustered peaks, a sudden drop, a sudden resurgence, and a long steady drop downward) - here's the 1918-19 UK death rate

Weekly COVID deaths are the lowest they've been since tracking started on March 14, 2020. covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-t...

Odds are very, very good that even if you have pre-existing conditions that make you vulnerable, you're gonna be fine if you go out in public. Celebrate that, and mourn the past four-plus years when you wouldn't have been and the people we loved who didn't make it

And the trust the government lost with declaring everything great in 2021...

Is the recent data reliable? It seems like we've stopped tracking a lot of COVID data

Yes bsky.app/profile/mich...

Nope, case data is all over the place but hospitals are still reporting deaths

thanks!

And 100 years ago they didn’t have the benefit of flu vaccines!

Definitely encouraging to see and makes me feel better having started a new job where I can't really mask. (Still wearing one to shop/other crowded indoor settings.)

ok, death rates have dropped. but long covid rates haven't right? so....

This is my understanding too, long COVID has been steadily falling in prevalence and severity since the vaccine and booster rollouts. That’s not a lot of help for people still struggling with it though! bsky.app/profile/hype...

This is unfortunately incorrect. A rare L.
