Sometimes good news sneaks in between the big boldfaced type headlines.

The World Health Organization said the 9,400 COVID-related deaths reported globally last week represent a drop of 90% compared with last February, when weekly deaths surpassed 75,000. (CBS News)
I feel bad about 9,400 COVID related deaths...that's still a lot of families impacted by the pandemic, but what a difference from just 9 months ago.
I'm happy for those of us who have survived too, who had it, endured it, and now thrive!
...9,400 deaths is a lot of funerals.
ReplyDeleteAnd as close as it is to 10,000, it's still so much lower than were being reported at different times, not too long ago. Of course I'd say at least 4-10 people are affected by each death.
DeleteIt is improving.
ReplyDeleteI'm hopeful, but still masked.
DeleteThat is quite a difference in reported deaths and, I am thankful not to have fallen ill.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Beatrice! I must not let my guard down yet, my friends tell me. There's flu and the respiratory thing too.
DeleteI am suspicious of the new number. I have a feeling many are not being reported.
ReplyDeleteA good thought there.
