I think back in April the estimate was somewhere around 21 million per the WHO chief. Basically about 7 million reported deaths and the likely expectation was that it was about three times that number in actuality.

Edit: This was part of the very weird announcement that they were ending the global health emergency, because that announcement speech was basically, "We're doing this, but here's several reasons why we shouldn't be doing this." Also noted a 10% overall Long Covid risk per infection.

those north king county numbers really match with what im seeing - like 3 weeks ago.

the waste water lag vs personal experience is always fascinating.

Ok, new page. I found a couple days I was missing between late and mid September when the methods and labs changed for King counties. I've added those in and tweaked the formula so it wouldn't smooth as much with the new data points. The image for King might not refresh right away if it's cached but it's been updated.

"I've had it three/four/five times now and I'm fine. what's the problem?"

an entire nation of solipsists

I know more than one person who says this despite being obviously hosed up after COVID. Like a guy who ended up in the hospital and had Bell's palsy right after getting COVID and had hosed up motor issues for months. He's still open biden because for him, there is no future worth living without eating indoors five nights a week and going to Disneyland, and that means rationalizing that COVID didn't put him in the ER.

Apparently our travel insurance does, also I do but not much anymore, there are probably several people with COVID on any given flight.

Makes sense that travel insurance doesn't want you giving COVID to other travelers they might be insuring.

unfortunately Kaiser as far as I’m aware wants people getting the vaccine in their facilities and not in external pharmacies. you can find it at say CostCo but whether it’ll be covered by insurance is a different ball of wax

Novavax? I've seen some folks say it's a bit easier to find at Costcos, I think from earlier in the thread.

They never got the trade name (Nuvaxovid) through in the US, so it is just the Novavax vaccine, Novavax (2023-2024) or I suppose "Novavax COVID-19 vaccine, adjuvanted
(2023-2024 formula)" if you want to be technical about it.

Australia weekly update: welcome to the new wave. Covid hospitalizations have been slowly increasing these last few weeks but just started surging:

Twitter link to source

Hospitalizations are a lagging indicator so the wave probably kicked off a week or two ago but testing/reporting has been nerfed so hard it's impossible to tell. Oh well. :shrug:

But on top of that:

So one of my coworkers likes to poo poo on people about masks and jokes that he doesn't know what covid is. "What's a COVID?", he says behind a smug smile when you mention the pandemic.

He's currently at home sick as a dog and coughing up a lung, from the sound of it.
