I know a lot of us don’t read the news, so here’s a meme. The Republican Speaker of the House has begun an impeachment inquiry on U.S. President Biden.

Biden actively took away what little there was in terms of protections. He absolutely could have continued the public health emergency, now we have less testing (since tests are no longer covered by insurance), less reliable reporting, and more pressure to live and work in cramped, poorly ventilated places. But maybe it's not importa-- oh hey what is this?

Newer covid strains are significantly less deadly than the initial ones.

The COVID-19 IFR [infection-fatality ratio] declined from 0.67% in 2020 to 0.10% in 2022, and the IHR [infection-hospitalization ratio] fell from 2.60% to 0.76% over the same period.
