I have not posted this in a long time---but it hasn't stopped and I have never seen the daily deaths even close to dropping below 300/day.
I have to wonder how many were unvaccinated

I got my "high dose" flu shot at the same time I got my last COVID booster (5 total shots).

I took high dose also. I've been taking the flu shot every year for over 20 years and so far so good.

A care center where a relative lives shuts down visiting when residents have an infectious disease. They closed again this week 'cause of Covid. We (outsiders) mask up to visit there - which reminds me how this epidemic is continuing.

On the upside, a yearly death rate of around 40K puts it into flu territory, which is phenomenal given the deadliness of this virus when it first hit. I am in awe of our scientists and health care workers, for coming up with an effective vaccine and figuring out how to keep more people alive who wind up in the hospital. I think of how isolated I was when this first hit, how frightened I was of anyone coming within 10 feet of me, and now I pretty much move through my world unhindered, with the knowledge that since I am vaccinated, if I get this, I'll be inconvenienced, not dead. Amazing.
