They had already made this a pretty useless metric earlier in the year by including 2020 data. Now they're removing it entirely in the middle of a surge.

Sitting here is like 2021 all over again. I hear my coworkers talk about how their friends and family are getting it because they went to some mass gathering. One of my co-workers has an elderly parent in the hospital with covid pneumonia because she went on a cruise. Other co workers have kids who are all getting it and spreading it. It was like this right before I got covid in early 2022. Except I see a lot fewer masks when I go to the store.

So we're all going to get it again and again and again. I've been lucky and only had it twice so far. I'm trying to isolate, physically, from others so I can put off the third time as long as possible.
