The other day, we shared some official CDC numbers suggesting the COVID wave had likely peaked across the Northeast. Well, on Monday, CDC numbers cited by Bloomberg appeared to suggest that much of the US is seeing a similar pattern, as the latest delta-driven summer COVID wave finally begins to crest, just as President Biden is pushing third jabs and vaccine mandates across the US workforce (and, eventually, in schools).
According to the official numbers, Arkansas and Missouri, where the delta surge began, have seen their seven-day average of cases is down 12% from the peak.
And Florida and Louisiana, which have attracted the lion's share of media attention lately, have also started to see similar declines.

CoxHealth, a hospital system in Missouri walloped by the delta variant of the coronavirus, said workers must get their first dose by Oct. 15. CEO Steven Edwards tied the mandate directly to the FDA‘s approval and said “careful consideration will be given to allow medical and religious exemptions.”
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday that all public education employees, including custodians as well as teachers, must receive at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by Sept. 27.

It was a massive expansion of the mandate he imposed on health care workers.
President Biden applauded employers for requiring the shots and told other companies to follow suit. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories and resources:
