I know totally off topic but I actually still comb through the NC stats every week.
This caught my eye about U.S. data the other day.
The USA, with 4.25% of the global population, currently accounts for 44% of all covid deaths reported worldwide.
Amazing what incentivizing classifications does... now the pandemic has been basically over for a year now. We are just stuck in incentivized coding habits.
But it isn't just U.S. vs the World. We see the same things here even between counties.
Look at with COVID deaths for Wake, Meck, and Guilford .... just since the beginning of the new year.

Wake has identified 1 death that occurred in 2023.... Guilford 53. That is a paperwork problem... not a pandemic problem. I assume there is still a little extra Fed juice floating around. It has been obvious since the start of the pandemic that certain systems were squeezing as much of that Fed money as possible.
Anyways... like I said, I still do stats on weekly basis, but don't share them, again, because the pandemic portion has been over for a year. But this bit of NC data has been driving me nuts for the last few months...
Someone with authority should call this junk out.
