In Oregon, yesterday was day 140 of the Summer CoVid wave, the day before Thanksgiving...
That means it's time for a WaveyWednesday update, comparing this wave to all the others in Oregon.
So, happy holidays, more that 2,000 have died from CoVid in these 140 days, this "summer".

Until this week, we didn't actually know that. A month ago OHA announced that it had found more than 500 deaths which were not reported over the course of this summer, at that time there were about 1,000 deaths reported in this wave, horrific yes, but not 2,000...
Since that announcement, we have had another 500 pass away in this "summer" wave, in addition to the 1,000 we knew about, in addition to the 500 we didn't know about.
Thankfully, a large portion of the population is vaccinated, or it could have been so much worse.

This is all background for a few simple plots which show the daily case data for the Summer 2021 CoVid wave, which we are very much not out of, as we prepare to head inside for the holidays, the winter.
Firstly, just case count, counted from the previous trough/low of cases

During Summer Wave 21 (which we are still in), the wave peak was ~13x the previously, and we are still 4.6x that low, although that does mean we're down 64% from the peak.
Lining up the peaks of all the waves, instead of the troughs, shows how fast this wave rose, and how slowly it's going away, despite our high vaccination rate.
All because we cannot bear to wear masks and eat takeout.
Look at Spring of 21, it rose similarly fast but left rapidly

It is hard to grasp just how much trouble we are still in, we're all tired of the Summer 2021 CoVid wave, because it is most definitely NOT summer any more.
Every day another 10, 20 or 30 families lose someone to the SUMMER CoVid surge.

This weekend there is a high risk of "sneaker" waves on the coast, and when that risk is high enough the beaches will close.
Since the year 2000 17 people have tragically died from sneaker waves.
Beaches would close if 17 died every day from sneaker waves.

Sorry for being a drag, not feeling very #Thankful today.
Every day is a tragedy, but this wave is no Sneaker. No, Summer 2021 CoVid wave was no surprise.
That's your WaveWednesday update...

(breaking the thread to correct a typo, should read 13x the previous low/trough)
