Yes, my wife's hospital also had a policy for some time that they had to show up for work while sick when possible at all.

Heard in the UK - "What do you mean, we're not supporting hospital staff? I stood and applauded them for a good 15 minutes three days ago!"

2658 deaths reported today, an all time high.

Still too early to tease out how much of that is record deaths occurring vs a catch-up on reporting.

[jon-nyc]

Not good.

The only thing realistically that could have made a difference is the vaccine. Our strategic patience has consequences. Deadly in retrospect.

The national case numbers seem to have crested. The regional view looks like it's trending well, NE still rising but at a slower rate.

Just need to hope that Thanksgiving doesn't reignite things.

Six days later:

Looks like the midwest really was declining before thanksgiving, but has started rising again. The other regions probably hadn't turned a corner at all, and the small dip was just an artifact of the holiday reporting break.

On the plus side, we've got Christmas to look forward to.

Whenever optimistic people talk about the glass being half full, I've noticed they never say what it's half full of, exactly.

In that case they are saying the glass is half empty.
