The bodies are strewn all over the sidewalks and a creepy guy pushing a wheelbarrow is yelling “Bring out your dead”, so I’m guessing it must be bad.
There are no midterm elections in Taiwan and their Covid daily death count looks pretty bad right now.
Ditto Australia.
Ignore case counts. They are not as meaningful as Covid daily death counts. And note that count methodology is not what it was last year. All the OF vs WITH stuff has been erased, but states are no longer striving to give daily data that is current to TODAY. The curves become clear only looking back 1-2 weeks so tabulation catches up.
Those curves now show non steep increase.
Except for those countries that have the utter gall to not give a damn about US mid terms. In many of those countries, the daily death count is up sharply, sometimes higher than any time last year.
The bad news about this is the concept of reservoir. We all know by now the vax wears off quickly and recovered immunity wears off slightly faster than vax. Neither is of any use after about 9 months to prevent death. So these reservoir countries are storing virus for this winter. It won’t be pretty, in the US or Europe.
In the US the Covid daily death count has turned upward and shows a non-steep rise. It never got down to last summer’s minimum. Still several weeks before last year’s Delta spike began.
Yup,
Real Black Plauge,
TEOTWAWKI stuff!
