I just posted about this three weeks ago. At the time, I was still hoping that this next wave/spike/whatever could still be contained. No chance of that now.
If you look at the previous chart for Orange County from the December 9th post, the latest “spike” was only about one-half of the case count from last year. However, that is no longer the case. The new case rate is now higher than it has ever been. I just had an appointment with my nephrologist, and she said the hospitals are getting full again, and that I should stay home for the next two weeks. Here is a chart for total US and world new cases:
1.4 million new cases for the first day of 2022. Looks like this year will not be any better than last year. In the US, with all the New Year’s Eve parties last night, the numbers will get even worse over the next few weeks.
