Thanks. I just checked Our World in Data the other day, looked at the Case Fatality Rate curve for the world, and saw no significant increase in recent weeks or months.
Of course, OWID has long put the CFR at around 1% for a while now, as they seem to calculate it crudely at face value based only on confirmed cases, while we know that the true IFR is a fraction of that, likely 0.1% or lower since Omicron, and 0.2-0.3% in most places before Omicron. (Most infections go undetected.)
In case I misunderstood you, you can link to substack graphics by clicking the graphic in the article so it enlarges, then right click, copy link to image or something, but I am sure you know that.
Do you think I should remove the worldwide CFR graph? I was hesitant to even include it.
Yes, you probably should remove it for now.
Ok I will. Bit late. I only saw your comment now...

I think it's misleading without accounting for variation in testing.
Removing it.
It has recovered a little anyway:

How do you create links to graphics within substack?
(I posted some graphics under your Twitter post.)
Oh that link is on my website, http://pervaers.com
Check it out, it's chart pornography. :D
