IIRC the final arc was literally "oh no, this oversightless machine that sees and monitors all and kills on a whim those it considers impure that the good guys have been building is actually bad.....because the bad guys tricked them into making it!"

Nocturtle posted:The quantitative scientist in me immediately ask how that 12% mortality compares to the baseline mortality rate for non-covid related hospitalized patients with similar demographic profiles (age, weight etc). A bit behind, but: the article mentions this. Control is around 2%, though it is unclear whether this is normalized (the original paper will probably mention this, I haven't clicked through).

In any case it is I who shall kiss all the girls... and then never call them again!!   What exactly is happening here? Is the Texas increase in spite of fudging the numbers or are they being real about it? Has their reporting capacity been affected at all by the recent weather?

Naw, that's not what they did. They stopped reporting 'individuals positive' so suddenly the info only shows 'positive tests' which has been about 25,000 higher the whole time. You can still tease out the individuals positive number from the info they put out but you have to calculate it instead of just getting it. That number didn't jump.

It's a lovely change to how they report data but it wasn't a dump of thousands of hidden positives.

That number didn't jump. you don't actually have to calculate it out. it's on the positive case analysis page. and you're right. it's the switch over it's still a hilarious spike on a bunch of trackers, but it's not horrifying like when they added all those catch up deaths like 2 weeks ago

While Popova said the strain didn’t appear to be able to spread among humans, “only time will tell how soon future mutations will allow it to overcome this barrier”.

Or do they just assume that a shitload of people won't get it every year and make enough for whatever the trendline predicts? I assume the latter

The absolute minimal halfassed poo poo people have done for Covid had pushed the flu this year through the goddamn floor. like its just amazing how more infectious coronavirus is in general

It's going to be real sad when people go back to never wearing masks during flu season after this is all over when we've seen from the flu numbers that even our lovely masks can save probably thousands of lives from the flu.

It's been 2 weeks since my second Moderna shot and to celebrate, I left the house with a KN95 instead of a respirator! Went on a short hike by my house, went inside a store rather than doing curbside pickup, and picked up a milkshake since I don't need to reheat my takeout anymore. It felt weird, but, good?

That seems like a really big deal.
