1. I think the numbers may go higher in the next 2 hours.

That is what I have observed over the past year. That happens with some countries too.

3. Yeah, CA rose some. No Florida numbers yet. They probably hit 30,000.

Just found out Florida isn't releasing daily numbers anymore, switching to weekly.

4. That way they can try to alter the numbers.

Just like Modi did in India.

2. Lambda variant --delta on steroids

The Lambda variant in South America is advertised as delta variant on steroids, and supposedly puts vaccinated persons at serious risks. So, more stimulus checks, pandemic checks, state unemployment checks and eviction restrictions will be needed if it takes hold in U.S. and shutdowns are necessary again. I pray Covid booster shots take care of it. So, masks mandates are still imperative now.
