Thinkxingu's active graph suggests that COVID-19 is lately "being discovered", perhaps with a zeal to strengthen a political position.

(To augment voter fraud?)

Well...you know what Mark Twain said about statistics.

As for empirical data, that appears as the subtitle on a textbook cover—one of two textbooks I've authored:

What about the phrase “novel coronavirus” do you not understand? In case you didn’t know, novel, as an adjective, means new.

I take Think's graph as a way of explaining how covid has grown as an actual killer, not just an expected killer. You may remember (haha) a significant number of our penpals asserting that covid is not a big deal because current deaths were low relative to other causes of death at a particular point. As we can see from the graph, that is no longer the case

I saw today that hospitals in NH are seeing a 40% reduction in cardiac arrest cases and they cannot figure out why.
