canyonwalker: coronavirus (coronavirus)

It's been a while since I wrote a Tier Tuesday blog. My last Tier Tuesday check was 7 weeks ago. What's changed since then? Well, it's basically "The same, but more." Per my primary source of numerical data, The New York Times's Coronavirus in the U.S., average new case rates are up 30%, the hospitalization rate is up 40%, and the daily average death rate is up 65%.

These are not good numbers! They were too high to be ignored 7 weeks ago and they're clearly worse today. Good luck getting more than a few people to care, though. The country is locked in such a political state of paralysis that even the leaders who previously spoke about the importance of sound public health policy have given up asking people to do anything.
