China Locks Down

China reported 55 new locally transmitted cases on Monday as an outbreak of the fast-spreading Delta variant reached over 20 cities in more than a dozen provinces.
It's somewhat funny how countries are reacting to the current "outbreak" when the numbers are absolutely nothing compared to previous surges that societies somewhat got used to.

It’s not about the numbers, it’s about the trend in the numbers. Compare the numbers now with the numbers in March of 2020…
Get ready for more lockdowns.
And remember, this is happening in the summer, and there is evidence of some seasonality to this. If it’s this bad now, wait till the fall…

Admittedly that is the chart of deaths, we may see an uptick in the coming weeks, but I doubt it'll get above a moving average of 300 or so.
You are right, I think we'll always see a seasonal increase in the late fall and early winter, similar to the normal flu. We'll probably need a flu/booster each fall, too.
Anyway...

We’re already at a 7 day average of 360…

As good a reason as any to enforce the teaching of calculus to all those eejits who said it was useless in the real world.

Ah good point, I thought the previous troughs were 300, they were around 650...

If only numbers meant something to our Dear Governor
The masks and lockdown will come back on a whim

Our governor is a big fan of masks!
