Not sure how you're getting this math when the true death total for India is likely closer to 4 million, which would put the death total over two months closer to 60k a day.

60k deaths a day would be the average number of deaths, not the peak. it's a gaussian not a flat line number of deaths each day

no they didn't. they topped out at like 250k deaths a day. they are reporting a tiny fraction of the number of deaths.

https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsa...the-official-co

if you renormalize india's deaths graph on worldometers so that the total integrated deaths is 4m you get a peak of 250k a day. india is only 4x the size of the USA

Worldo has India's peak at slightly below 5,000 per day. Given the 1:10 undercount, that puts their death rate around 50,000 per day. Am I missing something?

being unable to realistically imagine something because of how catastrophically it would destroy society isn't an argument for it not happening. if in march 2020 you told people that a million americans would be dead in the next 18 months people would call you insane because it seems like such an incomprehensibly large number. it turns out people just aren't imaginative enough.

An entire generation of kids is going to die, with the survivors suffering from lifelong disabilities, all because their parents don't want to take the time to raise them.

To be fair some of the parents can't due to their own work and the cost of child care so it falls, as it always has, onto educators to pick up the slack. What gets me is none of the schools I service are even pretending there's a pandemic loving up the entire health care system. I thought I had crack pinged last year but I guess there are levels.

Any goons in illinois have had success on getting a 3rd shot, despite not being eligible?

illinois state health dept made it so the general public can't get a booster until sept 20 and they have to be 8 months post-2nd shot. I think I read here that 4 months is good for a moderna booster.
so, fake name? and walk into a pharmacy? they dont ask for ID?

I know i keep butting in here with questions that were answered pages and pages ago, but I don't keep up with the forums anymore. Just tryin to help a friend get their booster.

Saying the same proportion of Americans will die from Delta compared with India doesn't work because 52% of Americans are fully vaccinated, and are largely protected from death (breakthrough deaths among immunocompromised and elderly are expected)

This wave's still going to be huge, and I would think much larger than the previous peak in America

i think it has to do with the idea that in a post world war II society everything was supposed to be stabilized. the whole nuclear family model originated from this kind of rabid push to demand it along with the myriad of racism etc that shaped the agenda

now as that mystique gets washed away because things were always unstable globally as things are wont to be transient in that kind of nature. I think it's just a force of habit on Americans part because they've been largely insular even before World War II, i.e. "it can't happen here." 9/11 just reinvigorated the whole oh ya, good thing we have 800 mil bases worldwide im all of a sudden very interested in foreign policy to do a racism about it but now there's trouble at home again as that shitshow recedes.

COVID is poking holes in every bit of that white supremacy colonial settlerism facade that should've been relegated to the dustbin in the 20th century and now is dealing with growing pains in the 21st

i'm assuming the bulk of the undercount is during their most recent wave. accurate counting really only falls apart when things are insanely overwhelmed. so instead of just multiplying everything by 10 i assumed that the bulk of the 4m was in that wave, which means you have to scale it by more like 20.

so i guess they probably had a peak of more like 100k a day, not 250k a day. my bad. that's still 25k a day if you scale it to the population of the US

200k for this surge seemed sane a month or so back but now seems maybe wildly optimistic - especially if a Cat 3/4 hits a totally plagued NO while the hospitals are full.

I don't think we can post India-style mega-numbers like 60K+ a day, I think we cap out on everything reported and poo poo falls apart well before that.
