Now it's Omicron. According to the CDC 73% of recent cases in the US is now Omicron. Omicron is clearly more contagious and unfortunately doesn't really look less virulent as was initially hoped. So far hospitalizations and deaths are less but possibly because the vaccines and natural immunity are not completely helpless against the new variant.

Bergen county is at numbers we haven't seen since April of 2020.

I still have pain and it's been almost three weeks. I need to go for a PET scan. The surgeon was supposed to schedule it but I haven't heard from them. Not sure I want to go with the crazy Covid numbers anyway.

My grandson got his second shot so we're all up to date on vaccines.

The Corona Virus, December 9, 2021

 I'm switching to the New York Times database for national cases and, rather than count individual days, I'm going to use the 7-day average. I'm also going to include only from June 1, 2021.

There are currently 49,505,034 reported cases in the US and 791,933 deaths.

The numbers continue to go up and we have a new contender called Omicron. It's still Delta causing the surge but WHO and the CDC are concerned about Omicron.

Things are bad in New Jersey in terms of cases but deaths haven't spiked yet. Of course those numbers usually lag cases by a few weeks.

Bergen county is up there as well.

Recovering from the collapsed lung. Everything went well with my grandson's shot. That's enough for today.
