Though it is not clear another wave would ever have the enormous mortality of the initially very dangerous Omicron…
Hopefully they are wrong and this thing continues to recede into the background.

Raccoon dogs did not start COVID-19, new study says
Skeptics have maintained that there were scant grounds for the assertion that raccoon dogs were the pandemic’s intermediate species, if the only evidence for that claim was the presence of viral and animal DNA in the same market stall in a crowded marketplace.

In all that mess, I found Angela Rasmussen to be the most credible (having the overall picture). But I'm not following the details of that discussion anymore, considering how much half-true agenda-driven info there is.

Back in the day I chopped off 2 weeks, then 3, now 4 weeks and I'm not sure if it's enough. Here is a 1 month + 1 day ago data point archived for posterity. Let's see if it holds up a week from now unchanged.
At the least it's clear that there was a small spike in the first week of April.
To this point every time I've taken a screenshot with a number right at 200 it changed a few days later, so I'm not ready to call this below 200 yet.
Results
We identified three RCTs of mRNA vaccinEand six RCTs of adenovirus-vector COVID-19 vaccines with mortality data available (Table S1).mRNA vaccines
The two major RCTs of mRNA vaccines, produced by Pfizer and Moderna, included 74,193 adults (>16 or >18 years of age) (37,110 vaccinated; 37,083 placebo), among whom there were 61 deaths (31 vaccine recipients, 30 placebo recipients)These vaccines were not associated with lower overall mortality, the overall RR being 1.03 (0.63–1.71) (Table 1). The third RCT of mRNA vaccine, from CureVac, reported 8 deaths in the vaccine group and 6 in the placebo group, suggesting a similar trend as in the other two mRNA trials. However, the deaths in the CureVac RCT were not reported by cause of death, and since the vaccine has now been withdrawn due to low vaccine efficacy, it has not been included in Table 1.
Any takes on this study?

“The RCTs of COVID-19 vaccines were unblinded rapidly, and controls were vaccinated. The results may therefore not be representative of the long-term effects. “
I’m too bored to read and comprehend any other claims (like reduction in risk from adenovirus vaccine) made.
Seems very boring overall.
Definitely seems like the vaccines are extremely effective at reducing mortality, in any case.

OK, 5 weeks is not enough, it just changed today after 36 days, so maybe 6 weeks back is needed?

Earliest article about this I could find, but behind paywall:
China’s New Covid Wave Set to See 65 Million Cases a Week
China is bracing for a massive new wave of COVID cases. What this means for the rest of the world
XBB variant at work
Estimated 40 million/week by end of May
Estimated 65 million/week by end of June
Low immunity because of formerly zero-covid policy and under-vaccination with less effective vaccines

China already has a population drop problem, this will simply exacerbate this.
My girlfriend tested positive for covid. 4doses of vaccine and one dose of omicron. Had her worst headache ever for 1.5weeks, now feeling better. Her entire family also tested positive and had fever and headaches. Me with 3 doses and 1 dose of omicron didn't get it even though we spent a lot of time together.
Only mild coughing and runny noses, fever not too bad. Headache very bad...

Wow, 10% infection in a population that should be well informed and have a good percentage of people taking precautions. This was at least encouraging: "No severe illnesses were reported."
I think that's the key. No severe illnesses. We're at a point that vaccination is very protective (especially in working age populations) against severe disease. Also, the infectivity of the current variants seems to be higher than the originals. Caution levels are way down overall, and there's only so much you can do (try eating dinner with a mask on).
The good news is just that. We are in a different world from the one we were in a couple of years ago.

It's endemic. Except for the immunocompromised and those with serious medical conditions, I don't expect many severe cases moving forward.
