| Tuvix | CDC update for today puts the 7-day rolling daily average of death in the US at just a bit over the entier-pandemic average. Another couple days of this pace of downtrend and we'll finally be moving the average lower, not higher as we have been for several months now. | 02:17 |
| qkall[m] | finally some good news... before the parachute spiders hit | 02:19 |
| Tuvix | Well, to a point; pandemic average is 1300 dying daily, which is still pretty awful. | 02:20 |
| Tuvix | We need to be doing a lot better than average, but the more distrubing trend is that post-vaccine availability the average loss of live hasn't changed all that much, it's just shifted more of that toll to the unvaccinated a bit more. | 02:21 |
| qkall[m] | duly noted | 02:22 |
| Tuvix | Pandemic average is 13.2 times the annual loss of life of influenza, which means the US is still exceeding that by a bit yet, at a rolling-weekly-average of 14.3x | 02:22 |

| LjL | ublx: I'm not myself trained in data analysis but the CIs in that abstract are if anything considerably narrow compared to what I've become used to seeing. So what's the uncertainty? I'd say however I can't see how "18% of 🇩🇰 will have long covid 6+ months later w/those numbers" automatically follows | 18:49 |
| LjL | Mainly because do we know how the vaccine affects these numbers, and do we know what they are with specifically Omicron | 18:50 |
| ublx | the dissenter in the comment thread indicated they would comment in more detail "later" | 18:52 |
| LjL | Certainly not from this study which is from data way way pre omicron and never mentions omicron | 18:52 |
