Are you surprised that Covid cases are dropping due mask wearing, social distancing, and travel reductions?


https://yhoo.it/37n2DW2
Since the holiday season, the number of deaths is still concerningly high but there is a decrease in COVID-19 hospitalizations

COVID-19 cases are decreasing but the vaccine is not the driving factor, according to health experts.

They are attributing shrinking virus cases to Americans adhering to COVID-19 restrictions. They are reporting that mask-wearing, social distancing and travel reduction are the main contributing factors, not the vaccine, per CNN.

Its encouraging to see these trends coming down, but theyre coming down from an extraordinarily high place, said CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky on Sunday to NBC.

Yep. Regardless of how true it is.

And that's fair tbh, the right spent the previous four years in cultlike worship of Trump, literally thanking him for everything.

I don't see how people can claim Trump supporters are in a cult. Trump did have more charisma than any other president in my lifetime, but he wasn't seen as a god.

The weather has been absolute shit the past few weeks in a lot of the country, so people are staying home too.

Kinda makes me wish the gov't actually had a weather control device so they could have done this all along.

So...Social distancing works then. Maybe if your cult listened earlier we wouldn't be this deep.

Cases spiked when everyone was traveling for the holidays, and then dropped significantly after the holidays were over. I am gonna need some hard data supporting this "people suddenly started listening to mask mandates" theory before I believe that shit lol

The sad part is we knew back in like April that these things would really keep the spread at a minimum, people just didn't want to fucking do it.

A lot of people have died that didn't need to because those pricks didn't want to be mildly inconvenienced by wearing a mask.

chalking it up to charisma is what being terminally impressionable looks like.

please do not attribute the US' failure on a systemic level to individuals.

this is pretty much entirely due to a lack of effective action and messaging on the part of elected officials.

if elected officials enacted laws regarding mask use and social distancing, more people would be using masks and social distancing. it's a matter of statistics.

I'm not even sure I believe in intelligence as a concept, let alone the idea that it can be measured to the extent that we'd be able to pinpoint a spot where someone becomes "stupid." certainly any reasonable definition of "smart" would apply to some anti-maskers, trumpers, and qanon conspiracy theorists

so no, I don't think "being fucking stupid" has anything to do with this, and I think it's extremely unproductive to frame it as though it does. I also think it's extremely unproductive to shift the blame onto individuals who are like, eating at restaurants, when it's clear that policy and messaging from the people in power are the single major factor in how well a given area deals with the pandemic

Why not blame them? They are literally KILLING people. They should know better. Google once or twice in their lives and dont cherry pick facts. Idiots are to blame as much as the government.

it's because of government messaging and disinformation that they want to do these things in the first place, and it's because of government inaction that they are able to so

Also not just the USA.. India, Canada, Europe, and the rest of the globe reporting similar:

In the past six weeks, the number of new coronavirus infections reported globally has dropped nearly by half, from about five million the first week of January to about 2.7 million last week. Worldwide, overall daily case tallies are the lowest theyve been since October, according to the World Health Organization.
