Still Growing A Lot

The number of covid cases continues to climb rapidly.

8/29/2021: 155,575 new cases / day -- Now (7-day average)

8/15/2021: 130,709 new cases / day -- 2 weeks ago

8/01/2021:  79,904 new cases / day -- 4 weeks ago

7/18/2021:  32,287 new cases / day -- 6 weeks ago

6/22/2021:  11,299 new cases / day -- Nadir for cases

Deaths more than tripled over the last 4 weeks, and are up by a factor of 6 since their nadir, 8 weeks ago.  If only 98% of deaths are among the unvaccinated (it was 99.8% in June), then that's one death among the unvaccinated every 68 seconds (and one death among the vaccinated every 55 minutes 23 seconds).  I know which group I'd rather be in.

8/29/2021: 1290 new deaths / day -- Now (7-day average)

8/15/2021:  678 new deaths / day -- 2 weeks ago

8/01/2021:  363 new deaths / day -- 4 weeks ago

7/18/2021:  266 new deaths / day -- 6 weeks ago

7/05/2021:  213 new deaths / day -- Nadir for deaths
