As of yesterday, COVID is the #1 cause of death daily in the nation. Those numbers will continue to go up this week.
Also, because the backlog of testing is finally breaking, the number of positives will explode.
I'm of firm belief that a number of those positives have already waited so long for results that they're actually nearing the end of being sick.
However, the numbers that mean the most are the new hospitalizations. It looks like NYC might have broken, with a stabilization or "peak" possibly happening right now in NYC.
Some parts of the country (cough, Florida, cough) are behind that curve and won't see a slow down for another week or two.
But if NYC has successfully broken theirs, that will say a lot.
I was at walmart this morning. They had most things.
The one thing I really wanted was some weights, which they were completely sold out of.
