Covid cases are rising both here in AZ and nationally...but I went to supermarket today, and maybe 10% of the customers were masked

From NPR -

The real COVID surge is (much) bigger than it looks. But don't panic

Cases of COVID-19 are — yet again — on the rise. The U.S. is seeing an average of more than 100,000 reported new cases across the country every day. That's nearly double the rate a month ago and four times higher than this time last year.

And the real number of cases is likely much higher than that, according to health officials. Because many people now rely on at-home tests, "we're clearly undercounting infections," White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha told reporters at the most recent COVID press briefing. Hospitalizations are trending upwards too, though only gradually still in most places.

From the Mayo Clinic -

In the U.S.:










In AZ:











1. Wear a damn mask.

2. Get vaccinated.
