Graphs don’t generally move in straight lines and no matter what the trend, there’s usually some movement contrary to the trend. A squiggle in clear downtrend lines for coronavirus cases and deaths had Biden’s new CDC director, Rochelle Walensky, in tears as she conveyed her fear of “impending doom.” Where the hell do they come up with these people? From David Stockman, at davidstockmanscontracorner via lewrockwell.com:
We will not mince words. America is indeed suffering from a dangerous plague – a plague of misanthropic fear-mongering from the likes of Dr. Fauci, the Scarf Lady and the Biden’s new CDC director, among countless others of the self-designated Virus Patrol.
All three took to the mainstream media in recent days, with new CDC director Rochelle Walensky getting positively teary-eyed as she allegedly veered off-script to sound yet another Covid Alarm:
“I’m going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom,” Walensky said, appearing to hold back tears.

Actually, she was not nearly done. When it comes to paint by the numbers exaggeration and hysteria the following is hard to top.
It seems that the reason for Walensky’s alarm is that from the winter-flu season peak on January 13th, when the 7-day moving average reported 251,912 so-called “new cases”, the 7-day rate had plummeted by 77.8% to 55,840 on March 15th, but as of March 28 it was down by only, um, 75.3%!
The nation is recording a seven-day average of about 57,000 new Covid-19 cases per day, a 7% jump over the last week, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said during a White House news briefing on the pandemic.
You can’t make up this kind of calculated mendacity, including, presumably, the off-script scripted tears.
