This is a normal post You might have a point there.
Deaths don't seem to be following the new cases in the same pattern as before, either.

I think 'wave' tends to refer to waves of infection though. Should we instead use hospital admissions (or deaths)?

Well that's clearly also not telling the story. Admissions were doubling every 3-4 days. Within a week of the lockdown there were 3000+ being admitted a day. That trend is not being repeated.

This is a normal post There's certainly been a second wave of armchair epidemiologists.
The rate of pontification means the P number has already exceeded 2.7.

This is a normal post This is a frustratingly valid point.
I feel like I still have very little idea of what the fuck is actually happening in this pandemic, and what's actually true. I don't think much is actually certain.

It's frustrating how much conviction everyone else seems to have, even though there's so much disagreement.

This is a normal post Eh, I'm not a statistician but I know waveforms
and the right side of all of those graphs are trending upwards. It looks like those numbers correlate with the new cases per day with a ~2 week lag.

I think this is the 2nd wave, it's progressing at a slower pace but we've not seen the peak yet.

This is a normal post Well yes, that's pretty stark.
Matches the excess deaths numbers, I assume.

This is a normal post Second wave will inevitably increase slower
What with all the restrictions designed to slow it. Not just the obvious ones like masks, but also the less obvious ones like shutting the pubs at 10pm before the virus comes out.

Death rate should be slower too as we now have a lot more therapies available than we had identified initially. Steroids, and intravenous bleach for example.
