Perpetual Lockdown: A Drop In COVID Cases Is Deceptive Or Something

At this point it is hard to distinguish between real, common sense stuff and propaganda designed to keep people in fear and willing to give their liberty up to Government

A drop in Covid-19 cases can be deceptive, official warns. Here’s how the US can stay ahead of a variant-driven surge

Although the rise of Covid-19 variants in the United States could spell trouble, pharmaceutical companies and scientists are confident vaccines will evolve with them, senior White House adviser Andy Slavitt told CNN.

“I spoke to all the pharmaceutical companies and scientists, and they all say the same thing: Even if these vaccines diminish a little bit, they will be able to continually update them,” Slavitt, who is responsible for the Covid response, told CNN’s Chris Cuomo on Thursday.

The US has witnessed a 26% decline in new cases from this time last week, continuing the trend of the steepest decline in new cases since the start of the pandemic, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

But variants, many of which appear to be more transmissible, have been spreading, with more than 1,500 cases reported in the US, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

But, see, if we can double time it on vaccines we can maybe possibly fix this

Vaccination delays caused by harsh winter weather gripping much of the US means that many people will have to work “double time” to get back on track, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci.

“It’s been slowed down; in some places going to a grinding halt,” Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said in an interview with MSNBC on Thursday.

Remember all the articles on continuing to mask and keep locked down even after you get the vaccine, even after herd immunity?

Health officials say the coronavirus will likely become endemic in the next several years. What does that mean?

Even as cases continue to decline and more Americans receive their vaccines, the coronavirus isn’t likely to go away anytime soon, health officials say.

The nation’s top infectious diseases expert Dr. Anthony Fauci dismissed the idea that COVID-19 would be eradicated in the next several years at a webinar hosted by think tank Chatham House in November.

“We need to plan that this is something we may need to maintain control over chronically. It may be something that becomes endemic, that we have to just be careful about,” he said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines endemic as the “constant presence and/or usual prevalence” of a disease within a population in a certain geographic area.

An endemic disease spreads at a baseline level every year without causing major disruption to people’s lives, said Dr. Donald Burke, professor of epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health.

Yes, but because it will be endemic, the Powers That Be can continue to make proclamations and issue edicts. Think they won’t? You haven’t been watching over the last year.
