Americans are being kept in a perpetual state of COVID panic. It's time to pivot

When the daily case count increases, there is a sense of urgency and panic that permeate the country, largely exaggerated by some in the liberal media and "doom and gloom" public health officials’ commentary.

The CDC has been publishing daily new case counts since early 2020.

Two years later, daily counts are still shaping health policy to manipulate human behavior. .

The daily case count on the CDC website is populated by positive tests that are reported to local and state health authorities.

For now, the CDC continues to recommend local and state health officials publish daily new COVID case counts despite their inaccuracies.

Given the low accuracy of the daily case counts, such information should only be relied upon as a broad measure of the direction of transmission. 

COVID is likely already approaching flu levels but the data reported is less than transparent and based on underreported case counts and over reported hospitalizations and deaths

While there is no comprehensive way to know how many rapid tests are performed every day, the more readily available they become, fewer cases will be included in the national daily case count record. 

A few states have already started lessening their daily COVID case reporting

Daily case counts are now becoming a less reliable indicator of disease prevalence and meaningless outside of public health epidemiologists studying trends. 

The White House is perpetuating much of this

Now, the White House is making available millions of n95 masks which without being properly fit tested will be incorrectly worn by many. 

As the United States continues into the new normal with "Flu & COVID " seasons, health authorities should scale back their case count updates from daily to weekly as they do with the flu
