333,115

We end as we must. That number is the total Killed by COVID since Feb. 16. More than thepopulation of Santa Ana, CA.

1M Americans have now been vaccinated. Is that having an impact yet? The New York Times 14-day averages are:

-9% Cases

+11% hospitalizations

-7% Deaths.

Some cognitive dissonance there in the Cases and Hospitalizations percentages.

The Times 7-day Cases line toggled up Dec. 26. The 7-day Deaths is on a steep, six-day decline.
