Restaurants and other place have been open for awhile in most places, it isn't cold/flu season, more people are vaccinated now than ever before, hell, even schools are closed.

Why a random Covid spike now?

Delta variant.

What the media is NOT saying is that deaths are way down.

I really wish the government would stop trying to slow down this thing... nothing they have done to this point has worked, in fact, it has all been harmful. Let this shite run its course.

Didn't you know?

Since the infection rate started dropping when the vaccines were distributed….it was clearly a success.


Or so some say...

Community pools are open, and people are fricking without masks.

Because young people have finally been able to be social again. Summer camps, bars and restaurants, and events.

I haven't really looked since I don't care. At all. But I would honestly not be surprised at all if they're making up all these spike numbers just for more fear mongering and to be power drunk.

It isn't "random". It has been going through spikes and troughs throughout the entire situation---like every other virus and similar pandemic, ever.

Spoiler alert: It will continue to do so, regardless of vaccination rate or any measure implemented. It will never stop, and it will never be eradicated.

This is why all of these mandates, mask orders, shutdowns, etc. are absolutely retarded, and have been from the jump. We cannot stop it, and trying to slow it down (and thereby doing nothing but prolonging the negative impacts) is destroying the economy.

America has gone back to living life, more people are traveling, getting together. Covid rates are spiking in unvaccinated youth, who aren't really affected.

There is no point in asking these people that. They all think the exact same and any outsider's opinion is stupid. Welcome to Louisiana.

Delta variant, people have gone back to normal since vaccine so more potential or spread, low vaccination rates in areas.

Pretty self-explanatory. Experts were predicting this spike a month or two ago, and this board laughed it off.

COVID-19 mutated into a strain with a higher viral load (making it more contagious). And that strain is now prevalent here.

Most of the vaccines are still working as they should, as in you can still contract the virus but it’s far less likely to put you in the hospital or kill you.

A lot of people were back to treating it like a cold. Get it, get over it, move on. Testing went way down.

Then the delta variant news panic porn ramped up. So now people get a cold, which is all covid is for most people, and go get a test because DELTA aaahhhhggg! So reported numbers go up.

This thing ebbs and flows. Cause panic at the right time = more tests = more cases = more over the top reactions.

It spiked at this time last year. It's almost like it acts as a seasonal virus.
