Newly reported Covid-19 cases in the U.S. fell to their lowest level
in nearly four months over Presidents Day weekend, and daily reported
deaths declined sharply from a recent spike.

There were more than 52,000 new cases reported for Monday, according
to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, down from 64,938 a day
earlier and 89,727 a week earlier. The latest number was published
early Tuesday Eastern time and may be updated later in the morning.


I saw an interesting stat this morning. They compared California that
is locked down to Florida that is pretty much letn'r rip and
California is doing worse per capita in all metrics. (Infections,
deaths, hospitalizations etc). I bet we also have more tourist and
snowbird influx too. That is pointed out by us being #1 in the UK
variant from the limeys who come here to dodge their winter weather
and restrictions. The hot spots in the midwest sent their people here
along with an unprecedented number of New York/Jersey folks.
I have been here 36 years and I have never seen this many NY tags on
this coast before. I suspect they came over last year when Broward
locked down and decided they liked it here
