Here we go again?

[LuFins Dad]

New cases are up 17% over the last two weeks…

[jon-nyc]

Where, US? VA?

[LuFins Dad]

US. We went from a rolling 7 day average of 72K to 87K. I’m sure that it’s mostly regional increases but am a bit too busy to dig into it.

[Mik]

Been watching it tick up again here too.

[Jolly]

I think we've got one of the lower rates in the nation. Probably tick up again around Christmas...

[George K]

Are the cases we're seeing less severe than they were a year ago?

I don’t think we will really be able to judge for a few weeks.

Just booked my booster. Rather than the 20 mile drive into Boston, I get to walk to CVS.

25% over the last two weeks

The EU had a bit of a head start with their increase.

[George K]

Almost two years out, we STILL don't know what the hell is going on.

Gibralter, with a vaccination rate of almost 100% is shutting down. Granted it's a small population, but, it's shutting down.

Other countries are doing the same.

[Jolly]

The Chinese did good this time, didn't they?

On the case rate...I wonder what the dominate strain is and I wonder if the virus is mutating to a less lethal form?

[Axtremus]

What vaccines have Gibraltar been administering?
Our usual Pfizer/Moderna/J&J or the other vaccines exported by China, Russia, or even India?

[LuFins Dad]

Another big increase day over day. We have started noticing an uptick in our neck of the woods…

7-Day average has increased by over 30% over the last two leek. Big increases locally, too.

Oh, and hospitalizations are up.

Proportionally, though.

Yeah, but it's a little early for the hospitalizations to start increasing. Typically that is 4-6 weeks after the number of cases increase.
