Does this mean that whatever is going around now is worse than the original since in Feb of 2021 it was still killing really old/sick (low hanging fruit)?
no, it just means omicron is far more contagious. With more people exposed, there will be more cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. Even with more people vaccinated. However, the vast majority of Omicron infections are less severe and you may get the sniffles for a few days if you are already vaxed and boosted
Well it's a perpetual cycle where they take your rights, your freedoms and fear monger you to insanity via the mainstream media, which is coincidentally also sponsored by big pharma companies. They will give people a glimmer of hope by loosening restrictions after another dose has been widely distributed in the countries with infrastructure to afford them but this is done deliberately as part of the cycle, so the people don't go completely insane from being locked down.
Perpetual cycle: -Fear mongering--blast agenda all over media -Restrictions and take away rights--close down business, mandate masks -Roll out the vaccines--big pharma gets rich -Shame the noncompliers--to gain obedience, groom and indoctrinate sheep to believe they're "doing the right thing" and create further division -take away rights/put in mandates -use media to reduce fear and instill sense of hope in people that the worst is over and they'll therefore be happier -open things back up to close to normal -another "variant" appears and repeat the cycle TIME TO WAKE UP
Do you work? I come on these forums a few times a day at various times and you’re always here spewing your drivel. It seems your here 24/7
Deaths lag cases per day. A few weeks ago we had 800k cases per day, way more than the 141k you are mentioning now. We are still seeing 'high' deaths per day because of the 800k cases per day we had a few weeks ago. Give it a few more weeks and we will be quite a bit lower. The 141k cases per day right now will likely result in around 900 or 1,000 deaths per day, so quite a bit less than a year ago. Again, it'll take a bit for us to separate ourselves from this most recent crazy high spike before we see that number, maybe a few more weeks.

You can also "get the sniffles for a few days" if you are not vaccinated and boosted.

Please tell us ONE thing Steve has said that has been wrong?
Yes but didn’t they lag last year as well? This is a pretty apples to apples comparison.
Also, the current deaths, aren’t these “healthier” individuals since we’ve already had about 1 million die? Shouldn’t deaths be way less than they were last year despite how contagious it is?
I rally just want to know what the F is going on. The WH has given up and so has the gov of my state.
Pretty sure your death numbers are off. 7-day moving averages are more meaningful as they take into account reporting lag over the weekend. The 7-day moving average for deaths on Feb. 16 last year was 2,234. This year it is 1,985 (so deaths are lower now than last year). The case load (taking the 7-day moving average) was 83,109 last year and is 129,470 this year. So, we are having fewer deaths in spite of higher caseloads. This has less to do with Omicron being "milder" and more to do with decreased severity of infection due to previous exposure to COVID via vaccination or a previous infection. Comparing deaths and cases on a single day are somewhat unreliable, as deaths are an indicator of what took place in the weeks preceding, not simply that day.
A better comparison between winter 2021 and 2022 is to compare cases on Jan. 15 (this is when they peak out most years because of increased social interactions around the holidays). 7-day moving average case on 01/15 were 237,602 in 2021 and 815,460 in 2022. Deaths peak out about 2-weeks later, so taking the 7-day moving average on 01/31, we get 3,273 in 2021 and 2,612 in 2022. So, we are getting fewer deaths from significantly more infections. Overall, though, the CFR dropped by a factor of 4.3. Omicron shot past vaccines, so a bunch of people got infected, but fewer died. Previous infection tends to outperform vaccination, so hopefully, next year the CFR will be even lower.

If, after two years, lockdowns, masks, three vaccines, and nightly interviews with Fauci, you "don't know what the F is going on," then one of two things is possible:
1. All the health leaders are incompetent and should be fired
2. The pandemic is a complete sham, a farce designed to confuse, divide, scare, and control the people

Do you posses even one IQ?
I possess (you spelled that wrong) one extremely high IQ, yes.
