In 1990 I would have laughed.

Too much other shit, time to provoke some thought with a map (which seems to be considered a sort of graph hereabouts).

Yeah, increases in hospitalization happen a week or more behind increases in cases. And increases in deaths happen another few weeks after that.
And you need to allow that the rise in cases is mostly in younger people so far - they were the ones going out socializing and breaking the guidelines - so add in a week or so for them to pass it on to their older relatives.

Yes, we'll be seeing a big rise in the numbers of deaths in October. It's already happening in Spain where they are a few weeks ahead of us on the "second wave" curve.

I wonder if it's true.

a map (which seems to be considered a sort of graph hereabouts).

You have a problem with that?

I know it's a topological map, but I think they could have placed the islands better. For example: having Japan off the coast of Europe, next to Cyprus, seems wrong.

[Abdul Alhazred]

I think the islands should be randomly placed circles of arbitrarily varying sizes.

That Euro-Afro-Asia should be an ellipse.

And the Americas a pentagon.

Because I am a True Topologist ^TM.
