Two things happening with COVID data
— Ashish K. Jha, MD, MPH (@ashishkjha) January 27, 2021
1. Infections falling across U.S., down about 33% from two wks ago
2. Deaths are climbing — because they lag infections. Will likely peak in 7-8 days
Nonetheless, things are improving and race now is between vaccinations and variants https://t.co/nc393UDMjg
"Tens of thousands of Covid-19 deaths are going unreported in the U.S., with far more missed in counties that strongly supported former President Trump… The figures suggest that political leanings have helped suppress the true scale of deaths." https://t.co/CVdwUaxXSI

Not necessarily true if we can vaccinate people fast enough and keep other sensible measures in place.https://t.co/dHB4t8PvUm pic.twitter.com/kCohlGMI7G
