    Kind of like how hurricanes go through cycles of weakening and broadening before re-strengthening.

    There's probably some term for this pattern... Virus spikes and comes down, spikes then comes down, each time extending its geographic reach further.

    What stands out to me is how the state suddenly filled in over the last week. The virus is spiking in most communities, even small ones.

    My usual analysis and weekly map will have to wait a bit unfortunately.

    Surprised to read such a nice article on shallow water hydrodynamics, the Suez, and the Ever Given container ship in FT. Author is Brendan Greeley:

    Massachusetts COVID-19 dashboard delayed for some reason. As an aside, the Tobin bridge is looking like it's back to normal rush-hour traffic congestion.

    Looks like a drone-view of the ship wedged in the canal. Better sense of scale.

    The salvage company working to dislodge a giant container ship stuck in the Suez Canal says it could be weeks before the vessel is freed — raising the possibility of major disruptions to global commerce.

    My friend just got a text letting them know a contact tracer would be calling. Not bad to see it in action within a day, though wish it was faster.

    Okay, I see the main point of the study was to address misinformation that a flu shot could make you more susceptible to COVID-19. Wish university PR and media outlets didn't focus on the wrong part, then.

    Correlation =/= causation People who get flu shots are likely a lot more attentive to public health messaging than those who don't.

    I'm all for shaming people w/ special perks, but his shot at Congress misses the mark. The feds' continuity of govt argument is correct. House seat go vacant. If Baker chooses to risk holding off vaccination, there's a clear line of succession behind him.

    Am I wrong, or was there not a single question in the press briefing about • increasing restrictions given the increase in cases • variants that hit young people harder • the impacts of reopening schools amidst variants ??
