Stil Not Over

This chart shows that we are still really bad from covid. We are in about the same shape we were last summer and still worse then we were the previous summer. This data is just looking at Colorado and it shows for example that on July 11th there were 31 deaths in one day reported. People have stopped looking at these numbers and like to pretend that it is behind us. The world is still dealing with COVID as new infections like Monkey pox are on the rise.
