You've gotta wonder how many victims of misinformation there are like this
www.npr.org
Their mom died of COVID. They say conspiracy theories are what really killed her
Stephanie was usually careful about her health and regular vaccinations. But then she got into sharing far-out videos and fringe ideas. When COVID hit, misinformation put her and her husband at risk.

The explanation meme even has an unnecessary comma so it should register well with you.

Philadelphia's attempt at a numeric modeling that was created with public health and business input is a wonderful idea. It's not coronavirus theater. It's specifically in aemotional formula that when they looked at the risk following omicron just because they had fast case spread and fast increase wasn't expected to lead to fast hospitalization. So they overrode their model and decided it needed to be recalibrated as cases lead to hospitalizations less and less.
They're set up is exactly the opposite of coronavirus theater. It's removing the political piece and trying to just follow the data with a response based only on data
Philly
April 17: Hospitalizations at 82
By April 21 that number fell to 65
So 17 less people.
In a city with a population of 1.5 million
Lunacy
You had COVID yet, or have you managed to avoid it?

17 people.
If the midterms weren't coming up, the powers-that-be would keep their thumb on the people. But in this case, they elect to give up a little power now in order to get a little more in the future.
Ok. Logical.
Do you think maybe their parameters should be set a little different than a +/- factor of 17 people out of a population of 1,579,000?

Wearing masks indoors is 'strongly encouraged' but not required in Philadelphia
Philadelphia has officially lifted its indoor mask mandate, abruptly reversing course just days after people in the city had to start wearing masks again amid a sharp increase in infections.

If anything, your state probably fucked Philly up a bit with their federal "fuck your masks" ruling.
Philly still tried to flex on the peasants, but the peasants are done with their shit

You didn't take any time to read how their model worked. You don't start implementing interventions when you've already filled up the beds. You have to look at metrics based on based on previous outcomes to predict future usage. That's what they did and they had met a couple of metrics so the mask mandate got kicked in. They made these metrics with business input in February. Following the mass of omicron surge that was occurring around that time, such a number of people have been infected and vaccinated. That cases are already resulting in fewer hospitalizations.
Admitted that their model was too conservative for the current environment and overrode it.

They had three metrics based on cases, speed of spread and hospitalizations. They met two of the three metrics which moved them to mask as an intervention. This was automatic and did not have a human intervention. When the humans looked at what was occurring and compared it to the data from the last 60 days where omicron surged then dropped, they decided that this was too conservative and not necessary.

It's very strange that they made a choice that you seem to think was the right one and common sense and then you somehow still managed to characterize it as politics or COVID theater. A day to model suggested mask go in place and human scientist made the case and why it should be changed.
After backlash from their constituents.

Not yet. I'll probably get it two years from now when all my antibodies have waned and I die in a terrific piece of irony.

Oh, it's not strange at all.
I'm a complicated entity.
I said I agree with using data to drive decisions (providing the data is accurate)
But if a variable of 17 people triggers the mandates, they need to adjust their settings.
They overreached. The people told them to fuck off. They fucked off.
You were likely exposed pre vaccine and defeated it easily, like most folks.
My lady sees hundreds of folks a week in multiple medical settings and is unvaccinated and often unmasked and we deep french kiss right when she gets home each day.
She and you have and will be exposed to anything going around and have obviously fought it off without even skipping a beat.
Psaki said you can't get Covid from kissing. Or something like that.
our county "cases" have been dropping for months, to levels 15% of the "peak"
yet when case count goes from 30 to 34 in a county with a population of 500,000 the news will run a story that says "CASES ON THE RISE"
