Return recipients of those being tested positive are counted as newly infected. There is evidence of many false positives also. Many deaths are labeled with a cause of death "with" covid, not death by covid. Stats can be deceiving, more as much as politics. And now, we have the promise of the "miracle" vaccine, so there is a 100% survival rate for those vaccinated.



The masks should come off. Those that won't or can't get the vaccination should protect themselves. The rest of us should go back to a normal lifestyle.

You just can't snap your fingers and WILL a "normal lifestyle". We have to WAIT and hope that enough people get vaccinated to achieve a risk-free herd immunity. The anti-vaxxers could upset the "normal lifestyle".
