re: Covid deaths per 100k in the US since the beginning of pandemic as posted by the CDC

Hmm, why are we panicking again?

Hospitalization, not that I agree with the panic but that’s why MSM will say

Does this chart make you happier Kork, or still not enough death to satisfy you?

Stop acting like I like death. I prefer to face reality rather than pretend things aren't happening.


ETA: How can you make it out as if I like death when it's clear that your threshold for acceptable death is higher than mine?

Either the death total is going to catch up to the cases or this Delta variant is nothing more than a more contagious variant but far less deadly.

I know which option the media will feed me and I know which option is probably the true, and they are not the same.

Can anyone find a dataset with hospitalizations, cases, and deaths in one?

I'd like to add a 7 day moving average for hospitalizations to the previous image but doesn't look like it's readily available. I looked through the available datasets and couldn't find what I was looking for. It would take me some time to manually build it. Seems like it would be obvious to include in one dataset but makes it seem like they purposefully don't want that easily available.

If you really want to see the impact of the hospitalizations usage and the death rate on the unvaccinated, hospitalizations stats vs deaths with cases thrown in as another dimension would paint a better picture. Show me cases to hospitalizations to deaths in one image.

If the death rate isn't keeping with cases and hospitalizations, and the vast majority of the hospitalizations are unvaccinated, then that would shed more light on the severity (or lack thereof) of the Delta variant against the unvaccinated.

Right now it appears to be (without having all datasets combined) we're seeing increases by varying degrees in cases and hospitalizations (amongst mostly unvaccinated and broken down by age group) BUT deaths are significantly lagging relatively.

I think the next month or so regarding the death rate will really give us a better idea of where we are with this virus, not that those data points will be used by those in charge.

You sound like Mr Perfect from last year, fyi. Kinda weird that you bet him $1k last year that he was full of shite and now you're kinda taking his place.

I knew we'd be fine when I saw the UK curve for their delta experience. It seemed to burn through faster than prior waves

Ya, that gave me a high degree of confidence as well. We started seeing decoupling between cases and deaths pretty early in our run up. I've had people in the last few days repeat the "deaths lag cases" thing, but they seem to be unaware cases have been rising for quite a long time. I believe that's because media didn't start freaking out until two weeks ago, which is when common people became aware.

An interesting topic left out is the cases in the UK fell after they dropped their mask mandate.

They saw the decoupling and wanted to return to normalcy. Also, they saw the vaccines working and wanted to promote vaccination (smart) over masks. The US going back to masks is a terrible message. I don't think anyone seriously believes masks can turn around a wave of infection even if they believe masks work, and certainly no where close to what a vaccine can, and yet this message muddles that point.

Biden lied, people died.
