Tracking the end of the Pandemic 2
The Numbers
In the past few days, I haven’t seen much in any more countries jumping onto the loosening of Covid Restrictions. Now that some countries have opened up for nearly a month. A look at the data seems to be warranted.
At First glance, just looking at case counts, things do not look good. (keep looking it gets better).
If you look at my previous blog, many of the countries featured in those articles are featured in these metrics from ourworldindata.com . In much the same way I state that I am not a health care professional niether am I a statistician or other expert in looking at numbers. However, I do love data. The data is looking good.
Case Counts are up, but mostly still going down. Omicron spikes are really something, aren’t they. It’s not just the way they spike up, but also how they come crashing down.
But hospital patients do not appear to be increasing with the lightening of restrictions.
Hospital Admissions are also mostly going down also. Hopefully Denmark will keep going down
I think this is becoming the most important metric. ICU Numbers, restriction changes does not seem to be a factor.
And the death data… Also shrinking.
