Pandemic Observations -- February 8, Top 40+ Nations (More than 1 Million Chinese Deaths?): [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-02-09 The Road Ahead? Having now fully switched to 14-day stats the pandemic continues to ebb in most places, with no sign of any particularly dangerous new variants emerging from China or elsewhere at this point. Even in China, the pandemic seems to have passed its peak — though the updated estimates from the UK-based health data company Airfinity remain truly harrowing, with daily deaths still above 24,000 (though down from a late January peak of 36,000) and new cases still running around 2.4 million per day (down from a mid-January peak of 4.8 million). Their estimate of 1.35 million deaths in China since December 1 is absolutely staggering, which would represent a total 10 times that recorded for the rest of the world combined during the past 10 weeks, and more than even the USA has suffered in the past 3 years. Unfortunately since the PRC continues to deny the full extent of the catastrophe they unleashed with the abrupt abandonment of their previous Zero-Covid policies, we probably won’t have a truly accurate accounting unless and until the total number of deaths per month is eventually compiled and an “excess deaths” calculation can then be made.
