Cases
If we keep growing at 30% per wk,
I've not put out a covid report 
Since we just started a new month, let's begin by stepping back to look at monthly data.
Let's start with case rate.
After falling down to 8.4 avg daily cases per 100,000 people in early November, our case rate has climbed up to 19.2 per 100k, more than doubling in the past 6wks.
After falling down to 8.4 avg daily cases per 100,000 people in early November, our case rate has climbed up to 18.8 per 100k, more than doubling in just 5wks.
Vonnegut was himself a veteran. He dropped out of college to enlist & serve in WWII. Taken prisoner by the Germans, he survived the bombing of Dresden.
Since October just ended, let's look back at monthly trends.
Here are avg daily cases by report date and test date. And what this says to me is that we finally caught up with the backlog (notice that the big discrepancy b/t the two a few wks back is gone). As a result, reported cases are now back to being accurate.
Before we begin, please contribute to this fund to help Floridia Jackson pay for the care she needs.
Perspective.
Just look at how daily cases have spiked over the past month. And notice that we've had 3 days straight over 200 cases.
Look at how sharply daily cases have spiked over the past two weeks, up to levels not seen since the first week of May.
Look at this huge spike: avg daily cases are up 193% in just 1wk!
Here's the infection rate, which has risen from 0.76 at the end of May to 0.98 as of a week ago and are likely up to 1.09 now.
Monthly Overview
Let's start with deaths. Bc deaths show how incredibly effective the vaccines are.
Fortunately, cases fell this week, but we need cases to fall much more - and much more rapidly. As you can see, the curve is still bent upwards.
The first thing to note is that we are, once again, un-bending the curve.
