Comparison of US state trends
Some of the U.S. states which have been experiencing a Delta surge appear to have
peaked. The chart above shows that
Missouri has not seen sustained growth in daily reported infections since August 4th, Arkansas since August 7th, and Louisiana and Florida since August 13th.Since none of these states imposed new restrictions to try to combat the Delta variant, this demonstrates that a surge driven by the Delta variant, like those of previous variants, is self-limiting and, contrary to the predictions of the models, does not continue growing exponentially and infecting everyone not previously infected.Not everyone is equally susceptible. Will the modellers now adjust their assumptions to the realities observed on the ground?
Comment: There has never been adequate justification for the draconian measures perpetrated globally in the guise of COVID. It is not surprising that these results have surfaced - especially in those states where logic and pragmatism have overruled narrative and agenda. If recent history serves, the 'modellers' will double down rather than adjust assumptions. Truth is not their objective and neither is proof.
