As of this posting, hospitalizations and cases are down, deaths are still up. We are now at the level of daily cases equivalent to before Thanksgiving. The numbers are still very high, twice that of the peak in summer. It is not a time to relax our efforts. COVID is a global issue. We will all benefit if we concentrate on the global effort. We need to all reduce situations that allow the virus to mutate. Avoid groups, poorly ventilated spaces, and any indoor situation without a mask.
