I used to work with a guy who talked about the difference between strategy and tactics. I think a lot of our COVID talk has tended to focus on tactics; what are we doing now, what are we doing next, what works, and what doesn't.
I don't think we talk about strategy that much. Talk of herd immunity has fallen off, and our summer re-opening turned out to be too optimistic.

Variation over time shows the jump in hospitalizations among unvaccinated people in week ending Dec 4.
I've adjusted the dotted-rate lines to match the long-term averages on the first tweet. Hoping to communicate how things are changing relative to the average.
