#1 some of the situations that deserve to be studied are:

Czech Republic: about 1500 infections, one death
Iceland: about 600 infections, no deaths
Israel: about 1000 infections, one death

I was able to determine that Iceland has already run something like 100,000 tests so the reported infections might actually be false positives

#3 I have finally realized that the USA report on a day's Wu situation really isn't complete until about 9am the next morning.

Assuming it is now a complete report, the USA situation is a bit different that what I had expected.

As expected, the number of cases went way up, by about 12k to 33.5k. This was expected because of the increased testing (probably more than 50k people were tested).

What I hadn't expected was the big increase in deaths which went up by 117 to 419. The percentage increase in deaths was thus slightly greater than the increase in cases. This reversed the trend of the previous two weeks. I think this is due to a number of deaths in NY from an infection incident about a week ago.

#9 2 mask tidbits for your consideration: Friday the French gov’t commandeered all the masks and gowns from all French manufacturers. unknown if reimbursement was coming.
In Seattle, Target had shelves of n95 masks displayed; some body in the gov’t saw them and the state now owns them. some reports say donated, some say commandeered. social comments are shaming target.
