[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread didn’t age well. [/quote]

How do?[/quote]

The thread hasn't aged well - since aggregate US hospitalizations are basically flat/down for April 2022 vs preceding month. The prediction was a "surge" would be "hitting" the US in April. If correct, then we would have seen evidence of big US hospitalizations during April which we did not. Any questions?[/quote]

First of all, you are aware that hospitalization trail cases right?   That's always been true.  First we had a surge in cases, many of which thank goodness didn't not require medical attention.   But then the people who didn't recover quickly started requiring treatment and hospitalization.  There's always been a lag in hospitalization.

And second, OP of this thread didn't say hospitalizations would surge, just that there was predicted to be a surge in COVID cases in April/May.  You aren't seeing a surge in cases where you live?  I'm seeing it where I live... lots of kids at my elementary schools (I work at two) have been testing positive the past week.[/quote]
