They learned from liberal US cities.

That raw number is meaningless. Like a numerator without a denominator. Cases are down. Is testing down too?

OR. Everyone on the island has been infected with the dreaded “delta” variant, the alpha beta... variants, and been vaccinated so there aren’t many more people to infect

Hardly anybody is dying from the delta-variant

Its basically just like the flu, and its passing quickly.

I remember them playing that song on the Smothers Brothers show and then they would pay them to Tommy with some ridiculous mustache holding a gun!

Is there something the scientists can do to change this?

As the percent of vaccinated people and previously infected people approached 100%, the case numbers should drop to near zero.

Math is hard for the people at the WaPo.

Some version of COVID will be here as long as it is useful to the Left.

Its not a puzzle. The “Delta” wave is ebbing, just like previous covid waves. This time with no significant death toll.

Fatalities lag trends of detections by 2-3 weeks.
