| LjL | and Korea, yes | 00:12 |
| LjL | de-facto, was there something other than outbreak.info that we used to view the sequenced variants for a given country? the graphs on outbreak.info seem different from the ones i had in mind | 00:18 |

| LjL | and, again about the OWID chart above... did the UK manage zero-COVID or something? | 00:44 |
| ublx | hmm? | 00:47 |
| ublx | what chart are you looking at? | 00:47 |

| ublx | maybe all the test staff are on holiday | 00:50 |
| LjL | and have been since August... | 00:50 |
| ublx | this chart stops at Dec 15th for some reason: https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/united-kingdom | 00:50 |
| LjL | but *now*, the coroners are on holiday too | 00:50 |
| ublx | but shows +5000 new cases on Dec 15th | 00:51 |
| LjL | however many it is, it basically looks like a flat zero line compared to these other countries | 00:52 |
| LjL | almost | 00:52 |
| ublx | well i de-selected everything except UK from your link and it doesn't look like zero | 00:52 |
| LjL | just keep them selected and hover on UK | 00:52 |
| ublx | can't imagine there are an abundance of people rushing out for tests nowadays in the UK | 00:53 |
| LjL | rather, where it says "United Kingdom" | 00:53 |
| LjL | and elsewhere? | 00:53 |
| LjL | magically there are? | 00:53 |
| LjL | these graphs are all normalized by population | 00:53 |
| LjL | i think we're pretty much all lost touch with the "daily" data (partly because they're weekly in many of the country or otherwise mangled) we don't even have a clue in what way they're mangled anymore | 00:54 |
| ublx | yeah UK looks fairly flat with them all still selected, but it's not, or rather only is relatively | 00:54 |
| LjL | merry christmas covid over | 00:54 |
| ublx | i stopped keeping up with case data months ago. just assumed the ongoing data was going to be nonsense | 00:55 |
| ublx | ever since covid was canceled by Boris decree | 00:55 |
| ublx | i was in hospital for a chat a couple of weeks ago. not even the consultant i talked to in a very small room was wearing a mask | 00:56 |
| ublx | no one in the anteroom was | 00:57 |
| LjL | masks are making a bit of a small resurgence here | 00:58 |
| ublx | i can't say i'm surprised about the general public buying the covid-is-over story, but i confess i don't know what to make of clinicians seeming not to care. this consultant was a professor | 00:58 |
