The week of April 20th officially had the lowest number of deaths per week since the beginning of the #Covid pandemic at 443. The estimated numbers for the next 3 weeks look to be even lower. The last time we anywhere near this low was in the week of July 7th and immediately swung back up again. Fingers crossed that this downward trend holds for a little while and doesn't go back up until at least when the numbers began to rise last year.

Still running into the occasional person who has gotten it recently, though. I heard the newest varient is more easily transmitted.

@Joyce Donahue transmission and death rate don't correlate, if we are lucky less deadly and damaging mutations have higher transmission rates. This will help the deadlier stains die out

I hope so. Still, the evidence is that the more times you get COVID, even a mild case, the more likely you are to have some damage. As someone with an autoimmune disease and a granddaughter on chemotherapy, I have to be super-careful. Still masking in most public spaces.

@Joyce Donahue Yeah me too. The lower the death rate should equal lower the damage but it's compounding.
