Coronavirus has peaked: At a time when it appears the peak in cases occurred in December, politicians continue to claim, “the sky is falling.”

The number of Coronavirus (CV) cases in the U.S. has decreased significantly, but instead the focus has been on the number of masks to wear and that we’re in the middle of a “dark winter.”

The current seven-day average of cases is down by 75% from the high, and is now at the same level as in mid-October:

Source: Author’s graph of CDC data

We might wonder why cases are down, and whether this will continue: Cases fell last summer, yet the fall brought an increase that rightly concerned everyone.

But what if cases continue to drop, which is what Johns Hopkins medical professor Dr. Marty Makary suggested in the Wall Street Journal: “We’ll Have Herd Immunity by April”? He wrote, “COVID will be mostly gone by April, allowing Americans to resume normal life.” He also speculated that many Americans have natural immunity to the virus.

The thinking is that herd immunity may be achieved because many people have already battled the virus and more people are being vaccinated every day.

Also, this graph is the first to show cases and deaths on the same scale -- a CV diagnosis is not the “death sentence” it once was. Deaths have been relatively flat during the same time that cases escalated.  Deaths increased slightly in the fall, but nowhere near the increase in number of cases.

Of course, there is a multiweek lag in the progression from case to hospitalization to death. But this graph puts to bed any concern about the uptick in CV cases leading to significantly more deaths. Clearly, more recent cases are less severe and reflect more testing as well as more communication of the virus, but not more severe results.

Here is another way to put the results in context:

This table shows that dying with Coronavirus is over 50 times less likely than contracting Coronavirus.

And it’s always been comorbid people who’ve died from it, for the most part.

It’s sickening how a manageable zoonotic viral outbreak has been manipulated for political and power purposes (including stealing a presidential election) and been used to introduce totalitarianism to the United States.

To spice things up, they may need to redefine “Covid cases” and “Covid deaths” once again. No one that matters will notice any artifice.

OK kids!

Here’s a little education for you now OK?

This is not nor has it ever been about “virus”

That became very clear in his early is early March last year

Certainly by April 16 of last year when President Trump’s coronavirus news conferences no longer had Dr. Burks and Dr. Fauci and we’re talking about opening up the United States

Yes Virginia THIS HOAX. THIS “pandemic “ is a communist plot

a worldwide communist plot even

We are now one year into this giant hoax this giant fraud and we are four months past the giant fraudulent election where the Democrats had to do the following

1- Kick all the Republicans out
2- Bar the doors and put giant cardboard over the windows
3- And proceed to count ballots for four or five days after the election

Forget the machines although though for real too

Forget the foreign interference although that is real as well

And just for reference do you ever notice how the Democrats are always masked up in public but then they’re caught constantly behind the scenes having giant dinner parties with nobody wearing masks

Why are the schools still closed ; only in California and New York

Do you notice the difference between conservative run states and leftist democrat run states?

Do you remember the crazy riots last year right after George Floyd met his demise on May 25?

Do you really think that was all about the knee on the neck video?

Why are the governments in all kinds of countries using a police state to crack down on people for absolutely no reason whatsoever ???

like they’re the Stasi and eastern Europe in the 1950s?

Hmmmmmmmmm?

Why now more than a year later are we still getting hundreds and hundreds of “coronavirus” “variants ” “vaccine” stories

Did she see what’s going on here Virginia?

Why in super blue states like California have they been so vociferously adamant that churches never have anybody in them?

Why are they trying to separate people and keep people fearing each other?

Why do you think they insist that we constantly cover our faces?

OK come on now those of you that I’ve read the Bible at least once

Haven’t we seen this movie before Ahab?

TRUTH !

And it’s so discouraging to see how many people have fallen for it and continue to be willfully duped.

What about dying from Coronavirus? That is 1/50th as likely as dying with Coronavirus.

I've noticed new doubling down going on. Increased PSAs about wearing masks, including some new youth group that reminds me of Hogg and the Parkland gang, business commercials making sure masked people are front and center. On and so forth. Never ending manipulations.
