    Covid: Sept Global News

    I have mentioned the IHME forecasts before but this is a gem. Really when your forecasts are so insane then either change them or don't publish them.

    The Philippines in October will go to having over a million new cases a day but don't panic because on November 1st they discover the cure for the virus.

    I would have to agree with that assessment, looking at the charts!

    In what way was it challenging Mr.Rock? I bet it had bugger all to do with how terribly sick you all weren't.

    This is just scary. When did we give our Governments so much power? I think the rise in authoritarianism will be the legacy of Covid. Not a good one.

    I thought we had a rise in authoritarianism before covid...

    There was 2016 in the US, 2019...2020's gifts are not all related to covid.


    Agree it crosses a line.
