    By my very rough estimation, somewhere around 1 in 6 people in the United States have had COVID-19, and nearly 1 in 1,000 people in the whole country has died of the disease And yet people still voted for the guy in charge W I L D

        That rough estimation btw comes from my back-calculation from deaths and age-stratified IFR. I would guess it's actually a bit higher now since those numbers come from the start of Octoberhttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1321661890301366272?s=20 …

        A thought I've been having a lot recently - everyone says that waves 2 & 3 of COVID-19 have been markedly different from the first This is often used to support the idea that COVID-19 is getting less deadly But is it true? 1/n

        You're being too sanguine. People have a fervent, religious devotion to their political saint. He can do little wrong. And every time he's attacked, their devotion intensifies a little bit. Election winning stuff, really.

        Isn’t there some correlation between COVID and IQ?

        Yeah, it is a shocker. They fear a non-existent "socialist" threat more than real COVID threat Propaganda is a thing.

        Crazy place. My neighbor ranted today me today how it’s scarring for kids to not play sports. I would think keeping their parents and grandparents alive and healthy is more important. And teachers, nurses, etc.
