Aren't we still recording among the highest rates of covid deaths since the start of the pandemic, and it's still coming and going in waves? Hospital systems are still run on the brink of overload as they usually are. What's changed?
- redisman 5y agoCases have plummeted?
- throwawaylinux 5y agoNot sure how to answer your question, but US Covid 7-day average deaths is currently higher than at almost any point since the start of 2020. So nothing suddenly "changed" there, that I can see.
- redisman 5y agoCases. You can look at deaths if you want but those will lag cases by a few weeks.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoCases have plummeted many times. It's been going in waves since the beginning. What's really changed is that elections are coming up. Pretty obvious isn't it?
- buzzert 5y agoIt is now a preventable disease. It wasn't at the start of the pandemic, before vaccines.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoVaccines have been widely available and used for about a year though. What I'm asking is what has changed so recently as to make April 2022 okay to mandate a return to work while November 2021 for example was not.
- nu11ptr 5y agoMid-terms are getting close and people are sick of COVID. Either that, or science changes as you cross the border between red and blue states. Nobody wants to admit it, but company policies directly reflect the chosen party of it's leaders/HR/location. They will follow whatever the politicians do.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoI was assured by the foremost self-proclaimed experts and Science™ Disciples that these are not political decisions. Therefore you are a science-denier if you think it might have been political.
