PaladinSolo Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I'd be interested in seeing a new census done in a year or 2 when this is presumably slowed dramatically to see just where and how much damage this did, since the census ended more than half a million Americans have died, and i've seen some info on southern states having deaths outpace births for the first time and MI county level data showing rural areas doing the same while Urban ones barely effected.

Well now we get to wait two weeks and see what happens. Hopefully it's already been around long enough that it's everywhere and just hasn't really affected the numbers--although I do wonder if this is what was behind the numbers jumping enough in Europe recently to spark new rounds of lockdowns before omicron was known about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 We knew this was the answer in September but instead we had to go and fuck up the messaging. And we only broadly approved boosters right as 5-11 was gonna be approved, very smart! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
