    I can't get too deeply into internet brouhahas, but evidently the KK giveaway kicked off some war of words over the health attributes of doughnuts...like we don't have enough stuff to argue about these days...

    I'm not sure the arguments? There aren't any. Pass me 3 please.

    yeah, our excellent local alternative paper ran its annual health issue but they had little cartoons every few pages mocking Cheetos! Blasphemy!

    Trends through Friday, March 26

    The number of cases (all numbers are seven-day averages per Worldometer) is rising -- up ten percent over the past seven days. The number of deaths is still declining week-over-week, but has been around 1,000 per day five days in a row (988 as of yesterday).

    I suppose, with vaccinations of the most vulnerable, cases could rise and deaths could continue to fall. But we may be approaching a point of inflection that could go either way on new cases and deaths.

    Yep, this will be the first test of the vaccine. We've now fully vaccinated almost 50% of the over-65 population and over 70% have gotten at least 1 dose. so we should in theory start to see a bit of divergence between mortality and incidence (with mortality lagging incidence by 2-3 weeks of course).

    Hopefully the deaths continue to decline, but we'll see.

    Is it time to focus on hospitalization or mortality rates rather than infection rates in countries with decent vaccine penetration?

    Funny thing is, when I took my mom to get her 1st vaccine back in January, I rewarded her for good behavior by going by KK.

    I bought myself a plant - the hyacinth are growing rapidly. I can almost see it grow.

    Good on you! I think I’ll do the same - like I need a reason to visit KK.

    SonPK got his first shot this morning, took him to Chic-fil-A drive-thru for breakfast and then a six mile hike. All good in the neighborhood.

    Was the hike voluntary?

    Yes, although we did discuss Ghost Soldier and the Bataan death march. Apropos of nothing AFAIK.

    She got mad when I didn't take her there after the second one. But I did bake a cake, so . . .

    Brazil is nearing 4000 deaths daily. Just horrible. Duke professor quoted in article: https://apnews.com/article/brazil-ri...916616796b6e60

    A friend of ours father had a 66th birthday party on March 5th in Curitiba. Apparently a small event of about 10 people. He died this morning. His wife died a week ago. She was 60. Tragic.
