					<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;I have become increasingly of the view that advertising the number of “new cases” in the abstract has become increasingly irrelevant.   That piece of information is being used by the right to: criticize the Biden administration’s handling of the virus (pointing out that some 400,000 Americans died under his watch); allow continued criticism of Fauci/CDC/FDA as misinforming Americans; and offer credibility to the anti-vaccine cohort by showing the rampant increase in cases despite the availability of vaccines.   The prevalence of vaccines and related medications put the state of play in a far different place than what we saw eighteen months ago, and should be an impetus toward analyzing the state of the virus within the United States in a more relevant light.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think it would be much more informative to publicize the number of new hospitalizations and new COVID-related deaths; that information should be further broken down into a comparison between vaccinated and unvaccinated patients.  No one is listening to the Biden administration’s pleas that the increased hospitalizations and deaths are occurring with far more regularity (and almost exclusively) within the unvaccinated cohort.  The numbers won’t lie (even if there are those who won’t believe them) and would hopefully offer a more compelling incentive to get vaccinated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It never ceases to amaze me that the press (and others) continue to sing from the same hymnal rather than re-analyzing the actual state of affairs.  That this may be the product of a ratings chase makes the practice even more deplorable.&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>
