Daily new coronavirus cases tipped back over 100,000 on Thursday after having fallen below that threshold for the first time since the fall earlier in the week.

The overall trend in recent weeks is still positive, as cases and hospitalizations have fallen from their January highs.

But the 103,000 cases on Thursday, as tallied by the COVID Tracking Project, are a reminder that spread of the virus is still at extremely high levels, and more contagious variants threaten to start another surge upward.

Cases are down 23 percent from last week and 57 percent from the peak in January. Hospitalizations are down 42 percent from their high-water marks, according to the COVID Tracking Project.

I wonder how many Super Bowl parties contributed to this?

1. I wonder about Super Bowl parties too.

I was relieved when I looked out my window that night at my neighborhood and didn't see any evidence of parties, but I'm sure lots of people did get together.
