Meanwhile, NY and the UK had a good couple of days, numberswise. The concentration of infections is low enough that the spread is now limited. Death rate miniscule.

Today is the day of the week the UK sees an uptick. So I anticipate a death figure in the high 100s or low 200s. It's been a hard grind to get our week day numbers into single figures. Still a few weeks until that happens, most likely.

School opening date has been moved back to September, which makes sense to me.

Little noticed factoid.

Covid 19 in June is about a quarter as deadly as in April. Globally, that is. Assuming the statistics are reliable.

Put another way, the number of infections has doubled, while the death count has halved.

Is this because the strains of the virus that spread better don't kill the carrier?

Or that this virus weakens in the summer, like the flu?

Or that hospitals are learning how to treat it better?

Wish we had hindsight knowledge, when all of these questions will have answers.
