LjLi'm sorry it's in italian, but please someone clarify this for me https://lab24.ilsole24ore.com/numeri-vaccini-italia-mondo/?refresh_ce#effetto-dei-vaccini  (if it doesn't go to the right spot, we want "L’efficacia dei vaccini". The first line is just the population divided by how vaccinated they are, with violet being 4 doses, greens being 3  or 2 doses with the most recent >120 days ago or <120 days ago, yellow only had 1 dose, gray are unvaccinated18:56
LjL"Casi" is cases, "Ricoveri" is hospitalizations, "TI" is ICU, "Decessi" is deaths18:57
LjLhow the hell do people who got 4 doses fare worse in everything?!18:57
LjLbasically worse than unvaccinated18:57

LjLThen there are more graphs telling me the risk is lower for vaccinated people, but it doesn't add up with that graph at all...?19:02
Juerd4th dose might be strongly selected for highly vulnerable population19:23
Juerd(Haven't opened any of the links)19:24
LjLyes, that's the only thing i could think of, although, fwiw, i've gotten a 4th dose... my parents are in line fro the 5th19:31
de-factoLjL, https://imgur.com/a/LVAqs5p19:58
LjLde-facto, how do you get that? we're going up but we definitely haven't reached the same peak as last time yet20:00
de-factoits OWID20:00
BrainstormUpdates for Morocco: +138 cases, +3232 tests since a day ago20:03
LjLthe graph on OWID is very glitchy20:04
LjLthis change to once a week is making things confusing20:04
LjLthey give data once a week but *they include each individual day*, but platforms like OWID ignore that20:04
LjLstill... i'm unsure how you get your graph from the data here https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&time=2020-03-01..latest&facet=none&pickerSort=asc&pickerMetric=location&Metric=Confirmed+cases&Interval=7-day+rolling+average&Relative+to+Population=true&Color+by+test+positivity=false&country=~ITA20:05
LjLit doesn't look like that to me20:05
de-factohttps://tinyurl.com/bdfm5kcz20:06
LjLlast peak was >40k cases per day, now it's 26k20:06
LjLde-facto, how am i supposed to parse that? the way it looks changes completely the moment they switched to once-per-week20:07
de-factoi smoothed on that raw data20:07
LjLwell you should smooth using a smoothing algorithm that rigorously preserves the underlying surface area20:07
LjLotherwise you end up with nonsense when the data have changed the way they're counted...20:08
LjLlet's see20:08
de-factoi do that20:08
LjLremoving "relative to population", it says we have 181181 cases in a week. that's less than i have, but whatever, going with this20:08
LjLnow let me count how many cases it sums up as in the worst week of the last peak20:09
de-factosee pm LjL20:09
LjL65917 + 47754 + 45705 + 40576 + 38968 + 30238 + 14030 = 28318820:10
