Deaths seem to be decreasing over the last month for the vaccinated (the lines are vaccinated boosted on the bottom, then vaccinated not boosted, then dark blue is total citywide, then the top line is unvaccinated).

And always worth keeping hard numbers in mind when seeing "most percentage increase since [XYZ]" - overall numbers remain a fraction of early 2022

Lol we went from 2 to 3 per 100k. What an alarmist headline.

Funny how conservatives frame certain stats when it suits their narratives. highlighting a 50% increase in covid rates is "alarmism" but a 30% increase in crime is some real shit though I bet, huh?

Murder rate is 3.5 per 100k, just fyi. Is that the threshold we have to cross before conservatives care?

Everyone dies from murder. I had cover twice and was asymptomatic both times. It was a great way to have paid time off and get into fighting shape. HR called asking for updates and my response was "I'm breaking an 8 minute mile for the first time in 20 years".

That's the daily covid rate, not annual. Covid has killed waaaaay more people than have died from murder in NYC. Just really highlights how full of shit conservatives are about everything they claim to care about.

Isn't it concerning that only 12 percent of the population has the latest booster?

my understanding is that waning immunity is a real thing and folks should be getting the latest booster.
