Puzzlement galore. One might expect in this time of continuing Covid-δ and emerging Covid-ο that similar cold states would have about the same experience. But then...
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Covid-19 will have none of that. Consider Maine and New York in today's data (likely missing some due to the holiday, but I can't wait). In particular, Maine is experiencing hospitalizations and deaths at about the same slope of increase as cases. New York, on the other hand with case count nearly vertical, is so far experiencing some increase in hospitalizations, but little in deaths. If the continuing data holds, that Covid-ο is less virulent than Covid-δ, we should see a lowering correlation from cases to deaths as Covid-ο takes the lead in the same way that Covid-δ did to both Covid-β and Covid-ε. One hopes so, anyway.
