The pandemic is over
Bitcoin is dead

GM y'all
The only pandemic that occurred is a serious affliction of the mental capacities of humans and it seems far from over 😅
Luckily some of us seem to be immune to its effects
That's weird. I know three people who died from the imaginary virus, and one who it gave a heart attack to. All people in risk groups. Also as a hospital data professional I was in part responsible for building the dashboards that tracked the progress of the imaginary disease.
Nuance is important. There is no doubt that the greater contagion was the mind virus you mention. But the design of that is to polarize us into extreme groups so we can be easily controlled.
When I was a kid you could also divide the population into two groups. There were the "popular" kids who knew what to wear, and what music was currently cool, and what Saturday Night Live punchline should be currently said. And then there was the other group, who was also aware of all those things but rejected them. We (I was in the latter group) made sure NOT to wear those clothes, made fun of the music and mocked the Saturday Night Live one liners.
It took me a while to realize we were really all playing the same game.
Didnt say there wasnt a virus. Corona virusses have existed for millenia and people have been dying from it since they first started animal husbandry.
Pandemic is the word I attacked.
Also your "dash boards" are full of false info. People falling down stairs and breaking their neck are counted as Covid death. Likewise people dying after taking covid shots (note: they arent vaccines), but before 2 weeks have passed since taking the second dose, are counted as "unvaxxed Covid death".
The data set has been dirty from the start. You've been visualizing false data. Garbage in garbage out.
I would say you have a lot of accuracy here. The key question is what is a pandemic.
here is the world of meter chart.
let us all pretend it is perfectly correct. all I care about is deaths per million number

So why do the top 10 deaths states have about 4 in 1000
and Vermont and Hawaii have about 1 in 1000
worse yet why isn't that big news.
Personally I would think
