it's a good sign when they increase the upper bound of the Y axis right?

fully anticipating a covid strain that the vaccines don't work on to proliferate
I mean, we're on track for that, there's no way the US/EU are ever going to get it under control at this rate, and more hosts means more mutations, which is all fun and games until there is one which proves to be far more dangerous, either because it is far more contagious, shows worse symptoms, or is immune to the vaccine because of different spike proteins.
We are fucked, but I consider we're lucky because it's not something akin to Ebola for example. Imagine if it was a highly transmissible virus with a 10% death rate or more on anyone. That would destroy capitalism more than anything else before.
It'll destroy capitalism in the same sense that meteor would: by taking us with it.
Well, depends. A meteor would obliterate the Earth in its entirety, but in this case, there are countries which are nearly virus-free, and have smarter leadership (Vietnam, China, Cuba and Laos come to my mind). The "West" however, is 100% fucked, so I do agree lmao.
It'd be different if it were Ebola-like, which is the comparison I was referring to and the one you made.
Not really, it would just cause unrest and collapse.
Meteor would blow you to smithereens. Meteors are a cool way to go out.
Unless you can convince half of the US population to accept the fucking vaccine, unless you can convince the feds to declare a lockdown, and to give appropriate aid to everyone so one starves, unless you can stop people being fools, then no, you can't do anything by yourself.
"Gee USA, how come you get to have two 9/11s a day ?"
"And so, the wise man bowed his head, and solemnly spoke : line go up means world more goo .... WAIT OH SHIT".
Man we got one more day to hit 4k before the end of the year. Fingers crossed baby!
What's the reason for the very regular drop every few days? I am assuming it's got something to do with reporting periods, but genuinely curious what causes that in data like this.
It's a pattern you see worldwide. I would say that it's not that the numbers drop but there's a regular spike on the exact same day every week. That day happens to be Monday. I would assume it has to do with the weekend numbers for whatever reason rolling into the Mondays.
I would love to see a total deaths chart like this, juxtaposed against 2019, to give to the covidiots (not that it would make a difference they live in a fantasy world)
