How are cases where you are?

[Mik]

New cases have gone from an average of 6 a day in my county to 32. Deaths remain at 0.

Anecdotally a lot now.

The numbers for Westchester (pop almost 1MM) are ~450 a day, up from ~60/day in the post omicron trough. Omicron saw us hit ~3500/day.

But so many don’t get reported these days, I really don’t know how to compare.

It's remarkable how this compares to the initial wave in Spring 2020, when things were really locked down and groceries being wiped.

Except for the deaths.

Especially here.

I never wiped any groceries

It feels like if you didn't have Omicron in December-January, then you're getting it now. I have to have heard about 5-6 dozen cases over the last 3-4 weeks.

There you go with the feelz again.

You can't go with the reported numbers since just about everybody is self-testing at home with no reporting mechanism. So anecdotal is really all that you have to go on. And anecdotally, the numbers look to be as high or even higher than January in these parts...

Who the heck was it that put out all these Chinese tests to the home for nuthin'?

Heck, our 4 year old (and 1 year old) both had coughing/colds the last week. We didn't test them.
