    Dear Reader:

    Worldometer, August 30 2021: reported global cases are close to 220 millions, and reported global deaths are over 4.5 millions.

    Last I posted here, a month and a half ago, in the U.S., there were almost 35 millions reported cases. Five million new cases were added in the last 1.5 months, making it to close to 40 million reported cases. A month and a half ago, there were close to 623.5 thousands reported deaths. More than 30 thousand deaths were added in the last 1.5 months.

    At about July 8, in the U.S., a FIFTH pandemic wave started that has reached its peak three days ago (Aug 27) with over 191 thousand new cases. The only time the U.S. has known over 19o thousand new daily cases was during the most severe pandemic wave: the THIRD, between Nov 19 2020 and Jan 22 2021.

    The fifth wave of daily cases in the U.S. started at about July 8, and the daily deaths caught up to the rise in daily cases July 21  (close a 2-week delay/ gap) with 417 deaths that day, the first day during the current wave with more than 400 deaths on one day. The peak of daily/ new deaths occurred five days ago,  on August 25:  1,457 new deaths.

    It looks like India is doing better, Brazil- not so good but not as bad as the U.S., South Africa is in its third wave of daily cases, the UK is in its 4th wave of new cases, and the world overall is in what looks to me like a 5th wave of daily/ new cases, and a corresponding 5th wave of daily/ new deaths with a peak of almost 11.5 thousand new deaths five days ago, on August 25.

    Dear Reader:

    Three months after my last post, today, Wednesday, December 1, 2021: the number of reported global cases according to Worldometer is close to 264 millions, and reported global deaths are getting close to 5.25 million people. Over 805 thousand Covid deaths have been reported in the U.S., over 615 thousand deaths have been reported in Brazil, and close to half a million Covid deaths have been reported in India.

    The first case of the new Covid variant Omicron, has been detected in the U.S. today. Also today, I got my Pfizer booster shot, my third Pfizer vaccine shot. I whole heartedly believe in Covid vaccines, just as I believe and most highly appreciate all vaccines. I wish every person able to get vaccinated- would do so.
