The COVID-19 Diary: Thursday 25 August

Given this site’s name I’d be remiss if I didn’t remind you that the U.S. is averaging about 90,000 reported COVID-19 cases a day this week. That’s an 8% drop from last week, but what I find more interesting is that it’s higher than the weekly average during the summer of 2020, when most of us were in serious lockdown, mask wearing mode and there was no vaccine.
