Some would tell you COVID cases are a product of behavior. Spontaneous carelessness and disregard for NPIs. But those folks never explain how millions of cases move in unison in parts of the world like synchronized swimmers. Behold WHO's 18 "flu transmission zones"

N/SW/E Europe
N/S/E/W Africa
Central America/Caribbean and Tropical and Temperate South America
W/S/SE/E Asia
Central Asia, Middle Africa and Oceania
How about NOAA Climate regions? Let's try the Southeast...
Not convinced? How about the NOAA south climate region...
Southwest, West, Northwest, West North Central
East North Central, Ohio Valley and Northeast split into west and east
If after seeing these, you're still skeptical, well, believe in the magic

The CDC's own data tracker and look at trends in number of cases using the 7 day average. Literally their own data has 7 day moving case average in decline each of the past four days. They're literally showing one thing and telling another.

If cases were going up (there is not currently evidence that they are, certainly not their own data), there is no sign of it showing in more ER visits or hospitalizations. From CDC's own data tracker site: ImageImage

Over 2,000 fewer children under age 15 died in 2020 than three year average from 2017-19.
If you're curious multiple cause of deaths involving Flu, Pneumonia or Covid-19 (ICD codes J09-J18.9) show 705 deaths since Jan 2020 for children 14-under. The last 3 years registered an ave. of 873. So roughly 10 percent of the difference could be explained from fewer PN deaths.
Source on this is comparing the CDC wonder database for those codes and the CDC provisional counts of death table by age group using the J09-J18 range.

It's time we have a discussion about targeting. Let's set aside with the ejection aspect, for a moment, as I believe that needs changed. But undeniably, undoubtedly and unequivocally this was not only not a "textbook" form tackle, it was textbook targeting (formerly spearing).

1
The version of this targeting rule predates targeting itself. The rule began in 1975 as what was called "spearing" as the "deliberate use of the head and helmet" to punish an opponent. No player should use helmet "butt" or "ram" an opponent.

2
Anyone that played pee wee football in the 80s, 90s or beyond should know this as common sense. Every little leaguer football player was taught on day one not to look down when form tackling and not use the top of your helmet. This was a spear. Kids know this.
