It s always something. This week, "only" 113,964 people a day are catching Covid (2,306/day are still dying) and that s only a bit more than 1% of the population per month – so we should be (relatively) celebrating BUT NOOOOOOOO – now it s the Ukraine and the kind of "Will they or won t they?" thing that keeps TV viewers coming back for more every week.
267,305. That is our new 7-day average of infections, beating the old high of 250,512 set back on January 12th. On Monday, there were 543,415 infections and 380,751 yesterday and the trend is not our friend as the rate of infection has been doubling every two weeks since we were at 70,000 per day in early November.
