The Hill ^ | 11/08/2021 | MYCHAEL SCHNELL

Global COVID-19 cases exceeded the grim milestone of 250 million on Monday, according to Reuters, a sign that infections are still on the rise worldwide even as a number of countries begin to scale back restrictions.

While cases are still increasing globally, the rate at which they are being reported has slowed. According to a Reuters analysis, the average number of daily cases has dropped by 36 percent over the course of the past three months.

More than 50 million people, however, are still being infected with the virus every 90 days, according to the news service's analysis, which is largely driven by the highly infectious delta variant.

CASES?

Cases are so-called ‘positive” tests. All they have to do to raise the case number is to order more tests.

Is this also 97% off like Italy’s 131,000 COVID deaths revised to 3500 deaths

The “Spanish flu” lasted from February 1918 through April 1920 and came in 4 “waves” during a time where no antivirals or antibiotics were available and world travel was by sea. Have all of our lockdowns and efforts really been any more effective than 100 years ago? The biggest difference is the media fanning fear and governments wanting to be seen as doing something.

Emphasizing that I am not medically trained, asymptomatic cases of CV19 can be argued as natural immunity at work.

Artificial lighting urbanites might consider including vitamin D3 in their healthy diet in my non-medical opinion.

Corrections, insights welcome.

Excellent!

Covid won’t end until it’s spread through the population.

The sooner the better.

47 million of those are in the US. Why is it so much worse here? Either we have piss poor response or fantastic exaggeration.

Italy lied about the number of actual cases so I do not believe the numbers now from this story. We know if anyone dies of anything it is counted as a covid death as gov’t gives the hospital more money.
