Looks like since January 20, 2021, Biden has basically plateaued the efforts of El Jefe's HHS to disappear the Coronavirus.
Remind me again why we needed to unseat El Jefe, then. We're not doing any better than before.
The slow decline has begun.
(I'm referring to the viral death rates)
The pandemic is now in decline worldwide. This isn't just happening by accident. The consensus on reducing the virus's transmission is proving effective.
Like a miracle, it has disappeared.
Where does Donald Trump go for his apology?
I gots his apology right here.

The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine provides little protection against the South African variant for mild-to-moderate infections.

Kevin's curve for the death toll doesn't show this, but plots of the new reported cases (e.g., https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-cases.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage) show a sharp drop (sharper than the rise) since about January 10th. I wonder if that has something to do with the vaccination taking effect.
No. We've just hit ca. 8% inoculated (1st injection), not nearly enough to show an effect. Though since most vulnerable were inoculated first, that will show up in the death rates, which should drop off in a month or so, followed by hospitalizations.
When cases jump up in an area, people start to take mask wearing seriously. We no longer have Trump rallies. The anti-maskers are not as loud anymore. And we now have Fauci, unchained.
Should mention hospitalizations are dropping now, but that's mainly mask wearing, and deaths are starting their drop now too. The effect of vaccinations will take a month or so to have a significant effect.
