The Coronavirus

[pbrower2a]

America is still at war -- or at least reeling from casualties.

From another news thread (Talk Elections, connected to Leip's Election Atlas... and this is not my work:

Quote:The updated numbers for COVID-19 in the U.S. are in for 4/23 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.

My morbid city comparison: the death toll, if a city, would be the 32nd-largest in the United States, between Albuquerque (32nd at 560,513) and Milwaukee (31st at 590,157). The cities get scarcer at this point, but coincidentally Baltimore (30th at 593,490) will be surpassed  a few days after Milwaukee... as if that is any achievement. This is based on 2019 Census estimates. 

If you have yet to get vaccinated, then WTF are you waiting for? The Grim Reaper?

I have volunteered at a site at which over 700 people got vaccinated in one day. That was a mixture of first and second doses.
