A group of U.S. researchers has modelled where society’s current path — an unmitigated spread of COVID — would lead. They concluded that unfettered transmission could result in death tolls exceeding 100,000 a year in the U.S. alone. “Endemicity is not a victory,” they added.
:doomer:
Including excess morbidity, probably. We were talking over 250k back in September from covid infection only.
edit: shit, my bad. It was at least 225,000 as of late September
Why exactly wouldn't you include all people?
Apologies, but I'm not quite sure what you mean? We don't have exact numbers for things like excess morbidity or covid infections right now, because states are holding back numbers to fudge averages and current numbers. For example, Florida has been only releasing data every 2 weeks, and I'm not even sure what other states have been doing.
Fair sorry I misread your comment
No worries, might've been poor wording on my part.
