For 78 days the average daily death rate has been over 2000, over the weekend it fell below for the first time in three months. By next week it will be below 1500.
Vaccinating as many nursing home residents as possible has led to less infection and has freed up hospital space. Docs and nurses have time to treat every patient with as much care as possible.
The US has about the fourth or so highest rate of vaccination in the world. Israel, the UK, and a couple of tiny countries have done more. We were lucky in that we had vaccine producing factories here, and the first two we made were very good.
It's a shame a half million people have died, and I hope we wake up and prepare for the next one.
