Holy hell—what a scene.

This is my brother-in-law riding his bike home in #SantaMonica before what he thought was a 4:00 curfew.

#Curfew
Also, the cloth you see at the very beginning of the video? That would be my 1-year-old niece.
(volume up for that extra dystopian feel)

A few days ago, I stumbled upon an exchange between @michaelsfuhrer, @greg_travis, @karencutter4, @PienaarJm.

The crux is Greg’s claim of a sharp increase from 2022 to 2023 in 18-44yo deaths from disease in the US (his graphic below).

Greg is wrong.

Join me on a 12-pack 🧵 Image
2/ It quickly became apparent that the main point of contention was whether including R99-coded deaths (“Other ill-defined and unspecified causes of mortality”) in Greg's definition of deaths from disease, as they are later re-coded to non-disease deaths. Image
3/ Oh, but not to worry. Greg states that "R99 itself is a tiny portion of overall deaths and generally resolves to <2,000 deaths a month overall (out of 300K deaths a month)."

True, Greg—but how long do they take to resolve

Quite a while, it seems... Image

Weekly #Covid19 update in my Substack newsletter, The Issue. Just click the link below.

I'll excerpt a few portions below, but the upshot is: steady rise in cases/% positive, lower rise in Hosps, even lower for ICUs, and continued decline in deaths.
thelawyercraig.substack.com/p/covid-19-wee…
"Despite the rise in other metrics, deaths late last week dropped below 300 (7-day-average) for the first time since June/July 2021. ICU census is still well below pre-Omicron pandemic lows."
"Perhaps the best news right now is global Covid deaths. According to Our World in Data, global daily confirmed Covid-19 deaths (7DA) have dropped to 1,772. For comparison, . . . our lowest ever number globally was 4,436 before Omicron entered the picture."

I cannot overstate the absolute idiocy of touting this study purporting to show Omicron is just as likely to send someone to the hospital or the morgue as Delta.

There are 2 enormous issues with this study (among others, I'm sure).

Thread 🧵
2/ ISSUE #1: The authors use PCR positives as the case denominator and just assume that the "case-to-infection" ratio was similar between all 4 periods. Unbelievable.

The fact that a study can look at the data and just say this boggles my mind. Just read that green highlighting!
3/ Here were Massachusetts' peak positive testing percentages for the 4 different periods in the study (data = @CDCgov)

8.69% - Winter 20-21
2.62% - Spring 21 (sub-1% for 38 days!)
4.47% - "Delta" (per the study)
23.36% - "Omicron"

One of these things is not like the others.

#Covid19 in South Africa...5th wave? Well, that depends on what metric you use to define wave.

Thread 🧵🧵🧵
2/ If you look at 7DA cases, it's a clear increase. It's a long way off from the OG Omicron peak (and not quite as vertical), but they're still up ~4x in barely over 2 weeks.
3/ But everywhere is testing a bit less these days, so what about % positive? Yep, even more vertical, and more closely resembles the prior waves.

Of course, these are all just tests/infections. Let's look at outcomes...

Heading your way, Music City.
Just realized this will be my first maskless flight since Covid hit.
In the airport generally, we’re probably at ~20% in masks. Seems a bit lower at my gate.

Guess it's time for a #Covid19 data update, seeing as how tweets like Taylor Lorenz's below can somehow still exist as of this morning.

Thread 🧵🧵🧵
2/ CASES (7-day-average, @CDCgov data)

Current: 25,980 as of 3/31
Peak: 806,571 on 1/15/22

Down 96.8% from peak. Currently in a plateau-ish trough nationally, but rising in the Northeast right now (as many of us predicted).
3/ % POSITIVE (7-day-average, @CDCgov data)

Current: 2.5% as of 3/29
Peak: 29.49% on 1/7/22

Down 91.5% from peak. Seeing a rise nationally from recent low of 2.13%. During the entire pandemic, was only lower in June 2021 than our recent numbers.
