The second season of the BAFTA-winning series ‘This Way Up’ saw 33% of its writing completed during the challenging times of the global pandemic. Aisling Bea, the show’s creator and star, shared that the process was particularly tough. The series, intended to evoke a sense of lightness, was overshadowed by the difficulties of the period. Bea expressed uncertainty about producing a third season, citing a personal loss of enthusiasm for the project. Despite this, she remains proud of the show. In a related discussion at Dublin’s Storyhouse festival, Bea emphasized the importance of a small, trusted network for feedback on creative work. She advised showing drafts to no more than two or three people and not more than twice per draft.

Apr 5 I missed this reply.
WW is a steady decline w’ bumps.
Your deaths histogram is a steady decline.
The orange line is NOT an average of deaths.
It’s the % of deaths that are Covid deaths.
It would be useful against a steady background but flu, rsv, heat, make it fluctuate too much.

Jan 21 New data from Emergency Depts today suggests a continued drop of new infections. I labeled the chart with which variants contributed to each wave.
Note: Majority of the small 2024 winter was driven by seasonal forcing.
