>>8573531Death rates mirror infection rates, which...makes perfect sense. The more people are getting it, the more people will die. There was a bump in death rates during the summer, when infection rates went up, and we're seeing an uptick in deaths again as case rates go up now.
Also, there was no "shifting of the goal posts" on my part. You yourself mentioned only infections in
>>8572863, with no mention of deaths, so if anything, you're the one who is shifting them.
