US Covid-19 Monitor
There is much talk about a second Covid wave in the fall, but outside of New York and a few other states we haven't seen significant diminishment in the first wave. In fact we are seeing new case uptrends in several big states to be followed presumably, with a lag, by an uptrend in new deaths. The overall US new death trend may be bottoming but it is far below its prior peak and no surge is yet evident. Beyond lag, logical reasons for this are:

The overall US new death trend may be bottoming but it is far below its prior peak and no surge is yet evident. Beyond lag, logical reasons for this are:
- Not just sick people are being tested and diagnosed
- Mix of positives has shifted to younger, less-vulnerable folks
- Old geezers like me are still social distancing and wearing masks in public
- Hospitals are getting better at keeping sick people alive
- There may be shenanigans in death attribution
