We're rehashing all of the same arguments from 2020. The Southern States peak earlier in the year for respiratory viruses due to latitude:

So what's happening in the South now is a preview of what will happen in the Northern States, perhaps even worse since the vaccines will further drop in effectiveness due to time duration (hence the need for 'boosters').
- graeme 5y agoI live in Canada and health authorities are making the same error. July cases lower than March/April so they relaxed. But summer is supposed to be low. All stats in August 2021 are worse than August 2020 despite vaccinations. Not an optimistic setup for winter.
- kasey_junk 5y agoThat may be true of respitory illnesses generally but it’s the opposite of what happened with covid: https://covidactnow.org/share/44853/?redirectTo=%2Fus%2Fillinois-il%2Fexplore%2F44853 https://covidactnow.org/share/44853/?redirectTo=%2Fus%2Filli... In every other surge the south lagged in cases. This time they lead (and the difference in how much is startling).
- sschueller 5y agoHow are these vaccinated counted? Is this the federal government or the state? I heard the state is delaying giving out infections and deaths by weeks making look like it's not that bad. If the state is counting the vaccinations I wouldn't be surprised if those numbers are also inaccurate.
- nojito 5y agoThis isn’t true at all CA and NY will likely peak in the next week or two and their curves look nothing like the southern states.
