So this idiot got fined £1000 and then £2000, £4000 and £10,000 twice.

Hi, goons! It's been a while since one of my favorite covid-19-related charts was updated, so I decided to remake it myself.

This is straight from NCHS/CDC data and its pretty self explanatory, I hope.

It's just showing total US deaths by week 2020 vs 2015-2019.

if you absolutely can't get her to stay home: order her a respirator with two organic vapor filters. compliance with masks is poo poo because n95 and cloth masks are uncomfortable as gently caress. rubber respirators are much easier to wear and easier to seal with less knowledge and ability.

Well that's the hope because it cuts through all the most common bullshit excuses about inflated numbers or it not being very deadly. Alive vs. Dead is really loving simple.

Usually they just laugh about trusting data from the CDC. :shrug:

Sure! This is the csv file I grabbed.

All the charts have links to their data sets. That was linked off of a Mortality chart from here. (It's the Flu dash but that dashboard also includes Covid19 data.)

It's going to depend on how you define your baseline - average vs 2019. I'd probably use 2019 because each year increases overall.

I didn't calc it out - i just wanted the visual - but in October it was ~300k per the CDC, so underestimating at the time by about 70-100k

e: I'll take a look later if nobody else gets to it. Data isn't reliable after about week 42ish because of reporting lags.

e2: note the baseline is wonky because there were fewer car accidents this year, I'd wager.

Oh cool, you lived the exact nightmare that I have. I've had multiple kidney stones and will have many more thanks to a genetic condition and I've considered just what I'm gonna do when I get the next one if it's during COVID. I might just try to ride it out. I don't know.

In this data set, through Week 39, it's 88,684 more excess deaths (compared to 2019) than the official covid19 count.

The data has some big lag, so Week 39 was about where I was comfortable with the numbers.

The news has had a few stories reporting on scientists who've concluded that kids being in school isn't a significant vector, but that seems to run against basic common sense for how an airborne contagion works. I'm too lazy to do basic things like look into the researchers or the studies themselves, or even read past the headlines, so any of the following could be true:

1. Schools actually aren't a significant vector and my "common sense", as common sense often is, is wrong.
2. The news is, as usual, wildly miscommunicating science.
3. The news is platforming junk science pushing an agenda, as is all too common.
4. There's a genuine miss on the part of the researchers and they came to the wrong conclusions.

I hope it's #1, but I'm skeptical.
