In theory, this shouldn’t happen, but one never knows… I’m sorry that it’s been two weeks since I’ve posted – got too busy in my day job. Fortunately, the numbers didn’t wait for me to write a post, and they’ve kept declining all along. The last time we h...

In theory, this shouldn’t happen, but one never knows…   I was able to look at new US Covid cases and new deaths for both the last week and the month of May.
