Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

An analysis of 31 studies estimates the COVID-19 infection fatality rate (IFR) for ages 0-69. The median IFR was 0.0003% at 0–19 years, 0.002% at 20–29 years, 0.011% at 30–39 years, 0.035% at 40–49 years, 0.123% at 50–59 years, 0.506% at 60–69 years, and a global IFR of 0.03% & 0.07% respectively.

- More than 3 times as many people may have died around the world due to direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic than officially reported. The countries with the most excess deaths were India, with 4.07 million deaths; the US, with 1.13 million deaths; and Russia, with 1.07 million deaths

Thoughts of having 4th dose booster?
Hell did you get 10% from? Only if you're looking at probably the 80+ age cohort, and for the first few variants. These are unvaccinated numbers as well. https://github.com/mbevand/covid19-age-stratified-ifr

- Du er ikke lenger "fullvaksinert" med to doser av vaksinen. FHI innfører idag et nytt begrep, og herved er du kun "grunnvaksinert" hvis du har to doser.
- hvorfor er folk skeptiske til vaksinen?

The cruel, ridiculous reality of 'virtual learning'
The best data summary I’ve seen [1] suggests that COVID-19 IFR for kids is 0.01% or less which is in line with the COVID-19 stats you cite. The same data summary [1] suggests that flu IFR for kids is roughly the same order of magnitude but not “vastly less”. The COVID-19 vs. flu comparison has gotten way too much press though and it’s worth emphasizing that IFR in kids is relatively low for both.
What I would really want to learn more about are long-term effects of disease in kids and how that varies by age. We know a bit about long-term effects for diseases like polio or flu or RSV but not so much for COVID-19 because it is still so new.

Assuming a person has been infected once, 280,000,000 Americans have NOT came in contact with COVID.
Got a link for that IFR number? I found this one per age compared to the flu which is quite interesting: https://github.com/mbevand/covid19-age-stratified-ifr

Der Spiegel poll: 40% of Germans would refuse to get vaccinated with AstraZeneca/Oxford
Even the Pfizer vaccine is only reported as being 95% effective as preventing hospitalizations, accordingly to an Israeli study based on real world data.

He explains this at his github repo, it's a statistical parameter to try to adjust for lack of proper control group (this is real-world data after data):

"However, an underlying assumption here is that the incidence rates of those that were vaccinated early are similar to the general population. Previous analyses have shown that this is not the case as older populations have lower incidence and lower socio-economic groups have higher incidence.4 Therefore, we perform a sensitivity analysis by adjusting incidence rates using different levels of beta values (Figure 1)..."
