The current strategy to beat Coivd is not working.
Cases and hospitalizations are at record highs.

The IFR for Covid is trending down in the US.
It is now around 0.20% for the entire country,
And trending lower…
The US got off to a very bad start, i.e., NYC, which skewed the #'s, and everyone's perception on the IFR.
(see below) 1/9
The "To Date" IFR is around 0.30-0.36%
This is what most "experts" use for their models, some are still higher.
The 30/60/90 day IFR is around 0.20%
That's 40% lower.
