The SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic - A Utah Perspective

February 21, 2021

For three weeks now the new case count 7-day average has monotonically decreased. Wonderful progression lower.
Where we go from here largely depends on (1) continued good behavior, (2) increased vaccinations, and (3) little influence from the SARS-CoV-2 mutations

Deaths remain elevated. Some deaths are weeks old. Some people may be cooking the books to get more federal dollars.
So sad if it is true.

In Europe, things were pretty good. All European countries on my list have worse death rates than the United States.
The U.S. averaged 70,500 cases per day down from 91,300 cases per day the prior week. Deaths remained HIGH in the U.S. surprisingly high.
The U.S. infection rate is 8.55%. If there is a country with a higher rate, that country is not one that I follow.
Meanwhile, the U.S. death rate stands at 1.77%. It is the lowest of all countries outside Asia (and New Zealand) that I follow.
The states showing the most rapid increases in the past week - Iowa 30,266 cases and Vermont.
