I read something that there is concern that the cases in Israel have seemed to plateau. I don’t have a link.

There is still much we don’t know and erring on the side of caution is always best with diseases.
Erring on the side of caution is generally wise but different from being pessimistic or even apocalyptic. Best to draw conclusions based on what we know instead of what we don’t know.

”In the past few weeks, over a million Israeli students returned to their classrooms,”
+
”Some 4,298 people with new coronavirus infections were identified on the previous day, about half of them under the age of 19.”

Last sunday 43% of all cases were in age group 0-19.

That million is a 9th of its population, least vaccinated. Almost half a million more going back to school next week. Of course that’s going to lead to more infections for a while. Youngsters generally don’t get as sick but are superspreaders. Meanwhile 90% of people over 50 have had at least 1 jab,

That age distribution combined with the fact they partially opened up and the median age of the severe ill dropping everytime an older age group is vaccinated leaves no doubt when it comes to the effectiveness of vaccination.

As for variants, look at this beautiful rainbow:

And then we’re not even talking about emerging treatments and cures yet.

It’s somewhere in between the sky is falling and everything is gonna be normal.
It’ll be close to the latter sooner on later. Only question is how long and how many more casualties it will take.

Agreed. Treatments will improve over time as well.
There are a number of antiviral therapeutics in the pipeline at various stages along with more powerful broad spectrum antibodies (that can be turned into vaccines). We will need a variety of treatments to deal with this monster but I figure once we are on top of it there will be no looking back as new vaccines and therapeutics come online. I expect the situation to be much different a year from now and hope for much improvement over the spring and summer. I think the later part of this summer and fall will be somewhat normal and we could have mass high school and college vaccinations by fall too.

Having the Americans onboard is a big boost to the fight against covid, Joe will harness their massive resources for the global fight and it must be a global effort. Allowing this thing to fester in undeveloped countries or even in rich ones would be a bad idea.

The Unwashed Right point to the lack of Fue cases and say the hospitals are treating Flu cases but call them Covid as id makes the hospitals more money.

Merck says study shows COVID-19 drug causes quick reduction in virus (yahoo.com)

Merck says study shows COVID-19 drug causes quick reduction in virus

(Reuters) - U.S. drugmaker Merck & Co Inc said on Saturday the experimental antiviral drug molnupiravir it is developing with Ridgeback Bio showed a quicker reduction in infectious virus in its phase 2a study among participants with early COVID-19.

"The secondary objective findings in this study, of a quicker decrease in infectious virus among individuals with early COVID-19 treated with molnupiravir, are promising," said William Fischer, Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, in a statement from the companies.

The antiviral is being currently tested in a Phase 2/3 trial that is set to be completed in May.

Merck decided to focus on therapeutics after its two COVID-19 vaccines failed to generate desired immune responses, prompting it to abandon the program in January.

I suspect this is sarcasm, which is great to bring up the point about how people feel so incredibly imposed upon by the smallest of gestures to our fellow citizens. Perhaps the downside of a nation founded on the rights of the individual, it's apparently fostered a really high level of selfishness and narcissism. Pretty much anytime you see a Trumper yelling and waving a flag, it's the same as yelling, "MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 4EVERRRRR!!!!". The only unity they've found is that they have their own self-interests in common, which is kind of like having no unity and nothing in common.

I have some friends that are closet/discreet-Trump supporters and their angle is, "I don't see piles of dead people". The depth and scale of the people required for the scam they suggest with comments like that would have to be in the tens of millions, in which case I should probably reply with, "I don't see any scam". Maybe next time.

Texas patrons threaten to call ICE on Mexican restaurant for keeping mask mandate
“We’ve had threats of calling ICE," O’Sullivan said. "I had one guy just stand there and berate one of my bartenders and tell her, ‘You’re an absolute idiot, you don’t know what you’re doing. If you think these masks are going to save your life, you’re stupid,’ blah, blah, blah. Nobody wants to deal with that stuff.”

Dr. Osterholm: US in 'Eye Of Hurricane' as COVID Pandemic Continues
“We are in the eye of the hurricane right now,” he said. “It appears that things are going very well. You would see blue skies. We've been through a terrible, terrible year. What we know is about to come upon us is the situation with this … variant, a virus that originated in the United Kingdom that today is wreaking havoc in Europe.”

Comments,

So what. I haven't worn a mask yet, and won't. We are in the eye of a hurricane alright - a hurricane of government tyranny.

Heaven forbid we use HCQ or Ivermectin, safe, cheap, and effective preventives and treatments. Let's keep the fear high so frightened people will rush in to take the poison jab. Animal tests of these implants have not been promising since all of the test animals died when exposed to viruses after they had been inoculated. Not to mention the over 750 people who have died here within one day of taking that crap into their systems. Or the miscarriages caused by it from placental detachment. Good luck, any of you who ran in to get that stuff.

The death rate WITH covid will drop as bye-dunce and his CCP/WHO/DNC/tech/msm handlers start counting only those FROM covid about 6% of the total!
It will be declared a bye-dunce miracle and everyone will sing kumbaya and dance the night away even though the daily death rate from all diseases and actions will remain the same, ie: 3200/day from cancer and heart disease alone, which will no longer be classified as covid deaths!
Biggest con job in US history used to enable the biggest election con in US history!

This virus bull reminds of little children and they're 'imaginary friends' (vaccines) and 'monsters under the bed'. (viruses). Except these adults are making billions.

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!! The eye of the hurricane, the calm before the storm, blah blah blah. Soak it up you ignorant sheep.

So...those comments are your comments, or just a clip of the typical bozo comments you find at the end of most articles? I don't usually waste my time with those.

The level of the comments on a Spreading Trump Lies site. It was one thing to gauge the thoughts of people with a different opinions but now stupidity rues the roost it seems. Ever since Fox readers needed a new home since election day.

My comments? You are new to the political section?
