In reply to: Where did they get those numbers? posted by mintirish

with vaccines"?

The 7 day average of new cases peaked on January 7 at about 260,000 per day. The 7 day average of hospitalizations on January 11 at about 140,000.

Yesterday the 7 day average of new cases as about 80,000 and the 7 day average of hospitalizations was about 45,000.

Now vs January

Two questions: (a) where do the numbers to back up the claim above come from?

and (b) why would we even expect it to be so since the preponderance of current cases and hospitalizations are among the non-vaccinated?
