I think the death count is no longer the best way to assess the progress of the epidemic. It used to be more reliable than other indicators. But vaccinations have changed overall mortality. And of course the large time lag inherent in death counts from disease has always made it unusable for decision making.
We see what happens only long after it happened.
I agree. If you watch the Swedish graph above, it seems there is a possible minor uptick recently, but generally it looks quite stable. But the number of positive tests have been skyrocketing lately, and hospitals are in deep trouble with very high number of patients, including ICU patients. Without close to 100% of the most vulnerable vaccinated it is clear that the Swedish graph would look very different today.
The Swedish authorities did from from early on consider the number of ICU patients to be the best indicator of how the pandemic progresses. At the same time, this measure has not been consistent throughout for various reasons such as doctors learning more about treatments, in particular effective treatment without the need of a ventilator, etc. Also, the fact that the British mutation has taken over almost completely seems to have changed the demographic of those admitted to hospital, with more young people hospitalized and in need of ICU than before, leading to a high ICU load even though the elderly are now protected.
CovidActNow seems to be running day behind...
MI dropped out of the extreme level (now less than 75 new cases/day/100K)--let's hope it holds
IL no longer in the red zone. Most red zone states seemed to have leveled off or are dropping, albeit slowly. FL still creeping up, and PR not doing well. MI, FL and PR all have hospitalizations and deaths going up.
In both MI and IL, smaller counties led the charge before the numbers in the cities took off. Detroit was then really hit hard, but rate is still below some smaller counties, though higher than the state. And the UP is clearing up a bit. Chicago is doing better than the state.
TN had a spike in cases--higher than "normal" post-weekend spike. Not sure why.
