In looking at the numbers over the last few days, trends have been coming off peak highs. For example:
Alabama peak hospitalizations: 3084
Alabama currently: 2716
Alabama peak positivity: ~44%
Alabama currently: 31%
It's not just Alabama ... across all regions, numbers are generally flat or declining over the last week as holiday gatherings have ended.
The numbers are still not great, and there remains, unfortunately, a lot of future death already baked in, but with the pace of vaccine roll out expanding and the holiday season behind us, we may actually be able to call "top" on this and will see things continually improve over the next few months. I certainly hope so. Also, you should still wear your damn mask.
Curious what folks like @mrhickory @jrodb24 @Auburn93 think about this.
