There you have it!!! All the indices have tanked for the last few days and I don’t think the surge will let up before it gets worse, much worse. With it porous borders we should consider that the new variant has already entered that Blessed country. Let’s all keep those upright and generous people in our thoughts and daily prayers.
On the other hand the numbers from here USA are going down dramatically. All the indices have begun showing encouraging trends, downward. Both the 7 and 14-day averages for the new cases are in the downward trend. The 7-day average death count seems to stabilize. Now face masks being mandatory on all transportation means and facilities will show dividends soon. This does not mean it is time to relax and lose sight of the virus still lurking out there with its new variant.
