Track Coronavirus Cases in Places Important To You
`
NYT 12/12/22 I live in Placer County, CA. It shows 1/10 the cases of daily deaths per 100,000 that New York City, NY shows. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...s-tracker.html "The infectious disease climate in the U.S. right now is not a picture of Covid’s going away, but of its falling in line alongside other endemic respiratory illnesses in the fall and winter. In some years, Covid could be the worst of the bunch. In others, the flu or R.S.V. could be. “This is the reality that we’ll be living with moving forward,” said Dr. Céline Gounder, a senior fellow at the Kaiser Family Foundation." .

Thanks. As a molecular biologist with a University degree in Microbiology, I track the epidemiological data pretty much daily. One of the most informative newsletters I subscribe to is Ground Truths by Scripps Prof. Eric Topol, who's also a molecular biologist. He does a very good job of summarizing the most pertinent data and trends.
C-19 Cases in Alameda County are up 79% in the last two weeks, and I directly attribute this to the fact that very few folks are wearing masks when out and about. Along these lines, I was at a SF Audiophile Society get-together two weeks ago, and I was literally the only guy in the room wearing a mask (let alone a KN95).
