The updated numbers for COVID-19 in the U.S. are in for 3/5 per: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

I'm keeping track of these updates daily and updating at the end of the day, whenever all states finish reporting for that day.

ΔW Change: Comparisons of Weekly Day-to-day Growth or Decline of COVID-19 Spread/Deaths.

• IE: Comparing the numbers to the same day of last week, are we flattening the curve enough?

Σ Increase: A day's contribution to overall percentage growth of COVID-19 cases/deaths.

• IE:What's the overall change in the total?

Brackets []: These represent the total change for the day, including backlogged reports, if any.

• These numbers are inflated relative to the actual reports for the day, so they are not used to calculate the comparative percentage shifts.

The dude clearly doesn't understand how it works, right? All vaccines currently approved in the US are very effective (close to 100%) in preventing ICU treatment or death. J&J and AstraZeneca are slightly less effective than Pfizer/Biontech and Moderna in preventing mild and moderate symptoms such as cough. But the major goal of vaccination is to prevent people from dying or serious illness. He also seems to forget that J&J only needs 1 shot instead of 2 and that this vaccine doesn't require very low temperatures that make delivery and storage more difficult.

Politicans from either party playing such games undermine public confidence and with it the progress to save lives. Last but ot least, the virus needs to be suppressed as quickly as possible everywhere before more mutations start emerging and vaccination with an "updated" version needs to start all over.

B. 1.1.7 is now skyrocketing as a percentage of cases. If we're not lucky we have one more wave to go before mass vaccination really kicks in.

Big difference between exiting a lifeboat once you have hit civilization and jumping off the lifeboat when stranded in the middle of the Pacific. Of course I wouldn’t expect much critical thinking these days.

It's hard to believe that people could do that. Then I hear some of the talk, and it doesn't sound like what I would expect from people who graduated near the tops of their high-school classes.

It reminds me of the children who were present at Westboro Baptist Church "protests." It's sad to watch  since they don't know better and are being manipulated by their parents. In the future, hopefully, they'll look back and know better.
