COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. are falling and the number of new cases per day is about to dip below 100,000 for the first time in two months. All are good signs. Not wanting to lose momentum, leaders and employers are seeking more vaccine mandates. https://t.co/vAYj49cD8i

A lot of us still have this idea that the pandemic was super bad at first and then has moderated to just bad. In fact, it's almost as bad as it's ever been and 2021 was worse than 2020. Despite highly effective vaccines that shld keep virtually everyone out of the hospital. https://t.co/UteOKohx2F

Josh Marshall:
The main reason there have been more deaths in 2021 was that the third wave – the worst wave – peaked in the opening months of 2021. According to Worldometer, there were 167K Covid deaths in the U.S. in January and February v. 92K deaths in the past two months.
IOW, it was super bad through the 2020-21 winter, but since then, it’s moderated to just bad.
That’s as a nation, of course. The Trumpy parts of the country have probably been hit at least as hard in the fourth wave as in any of the previous waves, due to low vaccination rates.

No changes in nationwide or regional trends since yesterday. A few of the selections above indicate some people are getting ready to relax again, as the Delta wave rolls out in many places. BUT …
There is literally not a single US State recording fewer than 100 cases per 1 million a day. During the summer 2020 wave, by contrast, there were a number of States under 60 per day, and a few under 40. The only jurisdiction now warranting such kudos is Puerto Rico.

Got news last week that wife’s cousins husband died of Covid. Seemed to be recovering, was at home, she came home from work to find him dead.
This was in rural Ohio, very anti vax/mask etc.
Wife & other cousins had real dilemma of should they go to service (they’re a very close family). agin the danger of infection. Other cousin who is a doctor who has been going through hell with the poor patients in a nursing home that is part of her practice was going frantic telling them all not to go. Fortunately she prevailed. Watching the service on video was very sad and also horrifying, 300+ unmasked people crammed into a church singing, followed by a dinner for 200 in a hall. I’m dreading hearing of more news from them. I glad the rest of the family takes covid seriously

@Central Planning: I can understand fear that upgrading an OS might break some critical app. I am in that situation myself: the work office computer still runs MacOS High Sierra, and one of the reasons for that is because an upgrade would break my last working copy of Adobe Illustrator. (The other reason is that the machine is so old that it cannot be upgraded beyond Mojave, and there is so far no money in the budget to replace the machine and upgrade me to a version of Illustrator that works with newer OS versions.) But that comes at the cost of my being forced to work at home when Zoom meetings are involved, because a sufficiently recent version of Zoom to be allowed to connect to a meeting won’t run under High Sierra–I learned this the hard way when a power outage at home forced me to try to join a meeting from the office computer.
And sometimes IT people will advise against an upgrade. When Big Sur was released last year, our IT department warned Mac users not to upgrade to Big Sur because it would break the VPN software we use. So far I have not seen anything from them cancelling that advice but have not actively checked. So my home machine runs Catalina, the OS version that was installed when I bought the machine in January 2020.
But that’s just my situation. If your IT people say that employees need iOS 15 to connect to the company network, that is their call, and updates should be available for any mission-critical apps that would break under the OS upgrade. Doubly so if the company is paying for the phones.

My co-worker (vaccinated fully) tested positive and has a bad cold; besides being our first coworker to get covid, he’s of course isolating at home. Feel bad for him and sorry it happened; he’s in his fifties so not surprised he has a strong reaction/cold but not worried since he is otherwise very healthy.
Luckily, I’ve been out the last two days (tele-work doing paperwork catch up) and he wasn’t here Monday so hopefully, missed any window of opportunity by the virus.

@SFAW: Whether he is stupid or not doesn’t change that he was born into extreme stolen wealth and never earned it – so, no intelligence there. That he got richer had far more to do with the Ray-gun economy designed for the rich; the rump is one of the few born into wealth stooges that lost money trying to leverage it into more via new ventures. The cock sucker brothers simply followed the standard methodology of letting the wealth do the heavy lifting as they mostly rode along – they did manage to get one brother screwed over by pointing out he was gay to their gay hating father – guess that counts as their maybe only real primary shot at being ‘not dumb’. Just immoral like their thief of a father.
Matt McIrvin
@lowtechcyclist: Yeah, I’ve seen this getting missed in 2021 vs. 2020 comparisons. The 2021 deaths are in two big batches: the second half of the 2020-2021 winter wave, and the Delta wave deaths starting in late summer. The winter wave was terrible almost everywhere and abated right when vaccines started to be widely available. The badness of the Delta wave depends almost entirely on how vaccinated your area collectively is, and whether the state government is run by malicious fools.
Matt McIrvin
@lowtechcyclist: …Also, in the urban Northeastern US it’s never been as bad again as it was in spring 2020, when in New York City the dead were piling up too fast to bury. Case records are artificially low because nobody could even get tested, but if you look at the deaths the numbers are pretty stark.
Matt McIrvin
@Taken4Granite: I’m still on Catalina myself because I wanted to let other people go through the collected IT pain of upgrading to Big Sur, and wait for apps to sort themselves out. I have a tendency to take the latest major Mac OS X upgrade right before the next one lands.
But security updates, I accept immediately and without reservation. I would certainly never run a version that was not getting active security updates unless there were absolutely no alternative (and other precautions would be necessary then).

@lowtechcyclist: I think it’s more appropriate to say COVID moderated from apocalyptically bad in winter to super bad now. It’s still many times worse than 2018, the worst flu season in 50 years.

I had a guy in Trader Joe’s in Cambridge, MA tell me that mask mandates in schools were child abuse. Then this morning there was a guy behind me in line at a bakery, mask pulled down, literally breathing down my neck. This in a place with prominent signs for masking and social distancing. He would neither back up (he was maybe a foot behind me) nor pull up his mask. Older white guy. As were the others in the place with their masks pulled down. I left.
