The US was hit hard early on. The quick lowering of positivity rates is needed for people to stop being so damn scared and soon return to "normal" life. Just about everyone I know over 65 has either recovered from Covid-19 or has been vaccinated at least once. The really sick old ones have been picked off by nature. Hopefully, as others age they'll have learned that becoming a fatass is genuinly bad for your overall heath and increases death rates when sickness arrives. Slim needs to be in again.
