I'm going to try a new format. Lots of data and not much snark.

Since Friday appears to be one of the more stable and useful days (the CDC data gets posted late on Thursday and the "Weekend Wobble" has been smoothed out), that's my target date for posting.

This also reduces the number of pages that I'll be posting in the thread each week from 25 to 16.

So, here goes

22-10-14 A1 - G8 + CHINA COVID TABLE.JPG
22-10-14 A3 - Comparison of Ratios TABLE.JPG

WORLD IMPACT

THE US CONTINUES TO PUNCH WELL UNDER ITS WEIGHT IN THIS FIGHT​

THE US CONTINUES TO LAG IN VACCINATION RATES​
 
We really need to get those vaccines to Africa. That's ridiculous.
 
US GENERAL TABLES

22-10-14 A2 - COVID vs Other Causes TABLE.webp

LAST WEEK THE DAILY ROLLING SEVEN DAY AVERAGE WAS LOWER THAN THE AVERAGE DAILY DEATH RATES FOR ACCIDENTS ON 4 OF 7 DAYS

22-10-14 B1 - US Mortality Rate CLOSED GRAPH.webp22-10-14 B1a - Mortality Rate ALL GRAPH.webp22-10-14 B1c - Mortality Rate BIDEN Years GRAPH.webp

THE US MORTALITY RATE IS FALLING, BUT IT IS FALLING SLOWLY​
 
US DAILY DEATHS GRAPHS

FROM THE SHAPE OF THE CURVES, IT LOOKS LIKE THE US IS OUT OF "PANICDEMIC" AND INTO "THIS IS THE WAY THINGS ARE DEMIC" MODE.​
 

US DEATHS 7 & 14 DAY AVERAGES

WHILE THE CURVES DO LOOK REASONABLY GOOD, REMEMBER "SEASONAL VARIATION" IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE.​
 

US DEATHS 7, 14, & 28 DAY AVERAGES

IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHERE THE "RECOVERED" TABLES AND GRAPHS ARE - DON'T. THEY ARE (ESSENTIALLY) MEANINGLESS.​
 
US GRAPHS BY SHARE OF TOTAL POPULATION

What a wall of text consisting of useless information

ONLY 19 STATES HAVE A LOWER MORTALITY RATE THAN THE WORLD AVERAGE.​
 

US DEATHS

MORE EVIDENCE THAT COVID-19 IS OUT OF THE "PANICDEMIC" STAGE IN THE US.​

BY WAY OF EXPLAINING THAT LAST TABLE

If you gave a party where you had 3 people in each room of a 7 room house, your "House Population Density" would be 3 people per room. And, if you gave a party where you had 18 people crammed into the kitchen of a 6 room house, your "House Population Density" would STILL be 3 people per room. Your chance of one of the people at the party spilling a drink on you is one heck of a lot higher in the second set of circumstances then it would be in the first. So that means that it isn't as important what a state's raw population density is as it is how crammed into a smaller area the population of that states is that counts.​
 
We really need to get those vaccines to Africa. That's ridiculous.
To use the "Conservative Logic":

The pharmaceutical companies stand ready to ship billions of doses of vaccine off to anyone who wants to purchase them. If those people hadn't chosen to live in Africa then they wouldn't be in the condition that they are in now and, rather than making them dependent by giving them free stuff (that patriotic, right-thinking, patriotic, hard working, patriotic, honest, patriotic, real, patriotic, true, patriotic, conservative, patriotic, Christian, patriotic, White, patriotic, American, patriotic, patriots like me get taxed to death to pay for), we should be encouraging them to "break the welfare cycle" and get high paying jobs as doctors, lawyers, politicians, lobbyists, computer scientists, and CEOs of multi-billion dollar corporations so that they can afford to pay for their own damn drugs.​
