In this last update for the next few days, things hold steady. Qatar continues to pull away from the pack, now at 2.4%. Bahrain and Mayotte trade places. The US nears the 2 million cases mark, as the number of cases per day flattens so much it's almost growing a little. To those nay-sayers who think this is mostly a cold weather disease, recognize that Qatar is not that much of a "cold weather of a country", and neither is Bahrain or Kuwait in the middle east. Neither is Singapore, close to the equator.
However, according to the NY Times, the US may be improving more than I predicted. We are seeing a steady level of cases, but we are also testing far better than we used to, and we are getting more negative tests as a proportion. Perhaps even the arrogant US of A is improving the outlook against all the odds of the leadership we choose. Most people are behaving well and compassionately, wearing masks and maintaining distance, and washing hands.
