[I believe daily number of COVID-19 deaths ... in the U.S. went down today. ]


Counting Hawaii, still 5-1/2 hours left in the day, and we’re at 57 so far today.

On the bright side, only 64 in critical* condition. I suspect some of the deaths are of people who never made it to the hospital.

* Not sure what critical means in this context. Does merely needing a ventilator qualify as mild? Does critical mean needing more than a ventilator, whatever it is? As a side note, ventilators have progressed well beyond the iron lung contraption I remember from decades ago.

Using the Worldmeter data that uses GMT, there were 57 deaths in the US on Thursday, and 47 deaths in the US on Friday.
