>The only problem with the happy screaming that "the Armageddon is back" is that there are no people dying. Just check the daily deaths graph and verify my statement that "there is no sign of a detectable deviation from oscillations near zero".

>Why are the "cases" increasing but the daily deaths (and even hospital admissions) stay near zero? It's simple. You may trace the new revival of Covid to a new variant. They started to be labeled by Greek letters (because the more descriptive nation-based names are considered politically incorrect by the left-wing aßholes who control this whole propaganda) and the relevant one is the "delta variant" (yes, it used to be the Indian variant). A few weeks ago, the delta variant was responsible for 90% of new cases in the U.K.; that delta dude dominates the (right end of the) graph of cases. How does it differ from the previous variants? Well, the previous variants often killed people, didn't cause a runny nose, but could cause the loss of taste and smell. Instead, the delta variant doesn't cause the loss of smell and taste. But it does cause the runny nose, sore throat, and reactions similar to seasonal allergies.

>The delta variant looks like a cold, swims like a cold, and quacks like a cold. Why is it so? It is because the delta variant is a common cold.

Is our /sci/fu mistaken?
