especially in 2920-2021, I wouldn't call it a huge surge. The increase of cases in some areas is worrying and it would be nice to know some data, such has how many people were vaxed and boosted verus people who just had the one vax or no vax.

I suppose that work is being done now, at least I hope it is. It will likely be published in the medical nerdosphere, maybe not the mainstream news in an election year. Sigh.
