Your statements are inaccurate. In Michigan things are worse than ever thanks to the UK variant, and the Brazilian variant was just detected here also. There are multiple pages of data, links on the bottom to change page (it's a weird layout): https://www.accesskent.com/Health/covid-19-data.htm

Daily cases are trending up, but still below where they were for much of November and December, and many more people are immune than were during those months.

There is clearly a surge, but it's not yet worse than the previous one, and hopefully vaccination reduces the impact.

(I'm looking at the daily cases tab on https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/0,9753,7-406-98163_9817... )

Anecdotes about the variants spreading much more rapidly are going around though.

Michigan 0.24 deaths per 100k.

Cases up, but hospitalizations and deaths down. Giant nothingburger.

Did you actually look at the graph? It's quite disconcerting.

I did. Did you? 0.3 deaths per 100k across the state.

But if we keep moving the goalposts, we can stay hysterical for as long as we want.
