Or don't they count?
Also, it's interesting that we have the numbers that you cite, considering that no agencies are maintaining an active tally of ongoing covid cases, both because many states/counties have simply stopped and because many people are home-testing without reporting the results. How do you account for these unknowable figures?

And let's see some hard numbers on the long term health effects of covid, even on the vaccinated.

Some discussion here:

The overwhelming sentiment, here and elsewhere, is that the trifling inconvenience of masks and reduced public gatherings is absolutely unacceptable, and it's no biggie if anyone dies or is sickened as a direct result.
