[ExI] covid cases worldwide going back up

[Dave Sill]

I take it these are infections, assuming zero false-positives, not people
who are actually sick and requiring hospitalization. If so, so cares? What
matters is the latter: serious illnesses and deaths. We're told the
vaccines are 90+% effective at preventing infections but near 100%
effective at preventing serious illness.
