Here's my quick summary of what happened with COVID
1. UNC, few other universities decided to ignore sound public health advice and just "go for it". It didn't work out all that well. So they blamed the students

2. Infections continued to fall across many parts of US (good!) but so did testing so hard to sort out how much. Falling hospitalizations also assuring
3. Deaths remained high. But lagging indicator -- and will come down in upcoming days/week

4. Schools continued to open where they shouldn't (eg Mississippi) and often immediately shut down because of predictable outbreaks
5. Schools in places where safe to open (NYC) struggled because folks (understandably) are worried when they see GA, MS headlines

That's why we do science
And EUA sets us back. Makes it harder to do science right
What a week. Some progress. Lots of disappointment
What big stuff did I miss?
