is no one voting or is there a problem with the poll functionality?

Kind of random, but thread adjacent thought; In 1918 the flu took out 675,000 Americans, the majority of which were young and able-bodied or children. That's .654% of the population dead.

For covid death numbers to be as bad proportionately more than 2.16 million would have to perish.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

eff!  i screwed this one up.  numbers posted should have been through the end of march.


fortunately, not many have voted yet.  anyone that has voted can change their vote in the comments due to this management error.

This is ghoulish and I've never done it, the only reason I'm commenting now is because this seems slightly hypocritical after you got after 'stone for him telling jokes about the hillbilly insurrection.

End of March? Should hit 580k with no problem. A couple of mitigating factors could be roll out of the chips and the fact that the virus has already burned its path through a lot of nursing homes (all of the nursing homes in the Smallville area have been heavily hit).

that's what makes it interesting.  i think there should be a very pronounced reduction in the death rate by the end of march.

It would be really interesting to see a comparison of the number of years of life lost for both pandemics (population adjusted).

a lot in the center bin, but only one vote for less.  i voted center bin, but i think lower is more likely than higher.

431K. 12 states with over 10K deaths. New cases and deaths in Kansas seem to be trending down.

i think we're going to see a pretty dramatic reduction in daily deaths in february.  if i could adjust my vote down, i would.

Hope that you are right. Between the most vulnerable getting their chips in the next few weeks and the fact that the virus has taken what it wanted to harvest from a lot of nursing homes, this could be the case.

IDK, the deaths (thankfully) came down a lot this week, and if that trend really holds, that's good, but it just doesn't take all that long for it to add up. I think we end up at 600k (though barely over) sometime near the end of the year.

The good thing, the combo of more vaccines and more people just straight having got it are definitely going to put the fire out pretty quick.

I think we stop seeing deaths during the summer. Vaccinated people aren't dying.
