Yes, there is a 4th peak on the way. And it is much worse than any before when one considers almost 35% have at least one vaccination, giving short term immunity, and 9% have been infected also giving immunity. That means 44% are immune and thus 56% are vulnerable. This means if we compare end of March to peak early January we are at 8,000 per day now normalized as compared to 5,500 last time.
Data is a real bummer folks. This also means that the carriers are the 18-29 year old group. Mortality is well below 1% evidence that the older more vulnerable are vaccinated and out of the pool. LTC mortality is near zero finally.
So is this "doom" or "dumb". It is DUMB, namely the 18-29 year olds who feel no social conscience unless they are out as paid protesters, lacking productive work due to their gross lack of education! This is becoming a plague of dumbness. Just look at Spring Break, where most colleges never had any, so where did the mobs come from? Good question. No answer.
It would really help if the CDC in its wisdom published daily and timely demographic data on incidence and mortality. Don't hold your breath.
