I figure it might be useful. Sometimes the numbers just become overwhelming! But the rates and amounts of increase can be mighty instructive.

* and ** - here's another one of those situations where the death toll holds steady, at least momentarily, but the cases keep climbing. Sadly, we know by now that after the cases rise, there's a lag time and THEN the death toll begins to reflect an upward change.

I figure the general information, details, and tracking might be helpful if you ever need to point out just how horrifying this is. But gotta confess, alwaysinasnit: it scares me to think how high this is gonna go. And how long it continues.

It's nice to remember the effectiveness of all those nice common-cold vaccines we have available to us ...






Oh wait...
