#covid data is back up on the cdc website. As of this week, there have been 43k deaths over the past year. By april, unless something horrible happens. It looks to be around 30k. That's around moderate flu death level and the #longcovid equivalent of #longflu.
ATM i have no reason to disbelieve the data, we had a massive spike last winter, so the yearly numbers have been on a 1k decline nearly every week since Christmas.
Sadly i expect it to stop being trustworthy once #rfkjr takes over
@anubis2814 So deaths from circulating common viruses have doubled the baseline essentially since COVID is now endemic. If I'm understanding the data correctly?
