Coronavirus: 6/12

I also feel asleep early last night.

As I noted yesterday afternoon, we hit a grim milestone: COVID-19 deaths have exceeded World War I and the 1957 pandemic. It is also clear that new cases are headed back up again particularly in the South and Southwest. Texas and Florida reported around 2,000 cases each.
