There's still more than "a few" people dying "from time to time", so even by your metric, it is not over, or anywhere near over.

- AtlasBarfed 5y agoYes, about 300,000 americans (taking us over 1 million deaths) will probably die in the next four-five months given the current numbers. Definitely not a few. We were on the downslide of the third big bump of COVID deaths per worldometers, but let's face it, there's going to be a big fourth even without Omicron from the infections from far less restrained Xmas/Thanksgiving get togethers. I hope I'm wrong...
- rswail 5y agoA large chunk of those deaths is due to the lack of urgency to get people vaccinated, as well as, somehow, your political allegiance deciding whether you get vaccinated, stop spreading disease by mask usage etc. The US is one of the worst examples of COVID response, both during Trump's era and the post-Trump/QAnon/Fox/OAN/etc spread of bullshit propaganda. It's not Xmas/Thanksgiving that's the issue, it's the lack of following logical safety and vaccination measures, somehow tied to "freedom" without considering the "general welfare".
