COVID-19's toll in the U.S. is nearing 1 million — a number so big it can feel abstract. But within that number are the stories of individuals lost, and the people they left behind. https://t.co/AhOF71DHT4— The Associated Press (@AP) April 13, 2022

More than two years into a pandemic that started in China, possibly the most severe lockdown of all is happening now in Shanghai – the world's largest port. And there's much more China suffering to come. Read my colleague @RobinBHarding https://t.co/oCWmhuLyC8

Jacqueline Dupree, Washington Post COVID number cruncher:
NOW I feel comfortable looking at the numbers in recent weeks and saying that, despite the uneven reporting cadence, there is now clearly a surge apparent. (Look at the green line, which is 7-day avg, not blue bars. which are the reports by day). pic.twitter.com/lT5GjSok1x

That said, these numbers are still really low. The current seven-day average of 31.46 cases per day per 100k is far, far, far, far below the peak in early January of more than 315 cases per day per 100k. This chart is per capita 7-day avg since early December. (4/x) pic.twitter.com/meZDamvUk6
