I wonder, do you plan to continue these weekly updates into 2023? I'm curious when you think you'll stop.

Probably end of the year to make a comparison with last year. I doubt any serious waves will happen anymore and those graphs now basically show how reporting and measuring is degrading.

Not that it still isn't a serious issue, but those not badly affected by it seem not to care anymore while those vulnerable to Covid are basically still self isolating :/ I still wear a mask in the supermarket and we hardly go anywhere, pretty much been home since the start :/ I can't watch my wife go through a third round of Covid, however the real risk still comes from school and they have given up as well.

Anyway, 3 more updates to December 31st.

Makes sense. On the UK coronavirus subreddit the person posting weekly stats is stopping by the end of this month too so it seems like the end of 2022 will be the end point for a lot of this stuff. Since it seems at least decently likely the pandemic will get declared over next year the biggest thing left will probably be seeing how China handles its upcoming big exit waves with it being the biggest remaining pocket of humanity to not have had much exposure yet.
