No putting this one back in pandora's box. What we need to watch is the number of hospitalizations and the number of daily deaths. The death rate has been pretty consistent for months. Get used to it, it's here to stay for a long while.
The daily infection rate in USA has been climbing hard for the last two weeks and holding over 40K/day for a week now. One can assume mostly due to preponderance of testing. I had preadmission testing for Covid last week before a colonoscopy. The swab was run in house at local hospital with results same day. Cheap and fast!
Since this crap started, spikes in death rates have followed spikes in infection by a couple weeks.
Whether or not we see a new corresponding spike in deaths will tell if the spike in infection is indicative of actual acceleration in pandemic spread, or simply accelerated testing.
If the death rate will continue to hold at about 500/day, that is easily absorbed in a nation 0f 350 million, and is a crisis only in the eyes of MSM.
