Re: "hundreds of people still die from it every week."
As of Jan 24, Covid was killing 1500 to 2000 a week depending on the sources (only 22 states are still participating in reporting infections and deaths. The rest have to be estimated.)
As of Feb 11 the death rate was 2,303 for the week- the 6th week in a row with more than 2,000 deaths, and the 22nd week in a row with more than 1,000 deaths (38,000 deaths in the same period.)
Hospitals are no longer required to report hospital-acquired COVID to CDC. Covid is still a leading cause of death for young people in the U.S. Biden said no one should be president with 200,000 deaths on their watch. Since he's taken office over 800,000 have died.

Thanks, Jim. I hadn't seen the most recent numbers and as you point out, the COVID-case reporting regimen is among the casualties...
