Instead of chasing pundit websites, go to the data source. I live in Florida. We have been open for business since last summer. Florida's DHS website provides real covid19 data for the previous week (updated every Friday). Take a little time and look at the numbers.

The one thing that really stands out is that all peaks occur after a holiday.
Another point that stands out is age group infections. The interesting point here is the higher the vaccination rate, the lower the infection rate. (look at the new cases per 100,000).
Early intervention and treatment is emphasized by the governor and a large part of the state's physicians has saved many lives.
