Summary:
Covid seemed to pretty much drop out of the news this week. Usually, I can pick up a lot of virus stories just from news sites' "most read" or "recent news" lists; this week I had to go looking for them. Part of the reason was that the fuel pipeline shutdown dominated the headlines, but the underlying reason is that new cases in the US and globally, are falling rapidly, even in India - No one wants to cover a story that bleeds less this week than it did last week.
