POSITIVITY

Today's 10.86% is the highest rate since May 8th.

CASES

Yep. Still headed up

DEATHS

slowly going up

very slowly.

But noticeable now

What's it all mean?

Welp. I started talking about this turn weeks ago.

Many weeks ago.

By the end of this week, we're likely to be in April territory... A place I really had hoped we'd never see.

This wave is now likely to be worse than the first.

As many had predicted.

Now we just have to hope that deaths remain low.

Hospitals are bracing for even more patients

Even at April numbers, they can handle the caseload.

BUT...

as I have also said for weeks, timing of the crest will be critical

and right now, we still don't see any sign of it

Bottom line

Nope. Still not panicking.

But... my goodness folks...

If you still live in a world where this isn't real...

well...

you should probably unfollow me...
