Deaths may start to drop again.
Did you know the CDC does an estimate of how many people have caught Covid as opposed to the official one? I think the latest estimate was about 147000000 as of Oct 1. If the real number is anything like that what's the point of the 'official'
case statistics?
I'm an optimist. I'm not always right but I sometimes am. I was right that it was safe to attend football games this fall. So there's that.
