Economic Endemicity Blue (12/07/23)

Death Panel

As we prepare to record "Covid Year Four," Beatrice, Artie, and Abby discuss what is left of national covid data following the end of the public health emergency, how what's left has become so thoroughly abstracted, and how the CDC prioritizes representing deaths as an abstract percentage even as the official death count has been over 1,000 a week since August.
