As the saying goes, "Love covers a multitude of sins", so the "word Pandemic covers a number of outcomes". Near the beginning of this pandemic I saved a graphic showing how the USA's CDC defined 5 levels of pandemic. Sorry this is not showing up very well, but in terms of deaths the five levels are: 1 < 90,000 2 90,000 - 450,000 3 450,000 - 900,000 4 900,000 - 1,800,000 5 > 1,800,000 I realise that the population in the States has risen since 2006, but there might not be much change from the above rounded figures. I also realise that mitigation measures have been taken (limited but some have been applied). At present, by the definition of deaths, USA is at a level 2 Pandemic, and soon (within the couple of weeks) will move to a level 3 Pandemic situation. [Worldometers had the death toll for the USA at 431,392 for 25th January 2021] |

Obviously the Biden factor (covid will end now we have a democratic in the WH) Was not part of that equation.... I think we will see case drop off as masks etc are implemented,but then when everyone starts to think it's safe..... And relax a little Cases will explode ...... I wonder where we will be in 12 months ? Take care all 😷😉 . |
