Jan. 22: 189,925 Reported New Infections; 3,758 Deaths on President Biden's Watch

24,985,689 Infections since Jan. 20, 2020
417,382 Deaths since Feb. 6, 2020

Well, I was wrong about the 7-day Deaths average. I predicted it would go up, it went down--by two (eye roll, one hand clapping) from 3,078 to 3,076.

Both Cases and Deaths continue on their down slope over seven days.

The 14-day changes:

-30% Cases
-5% Hospitalizations
Flat Deaths

Okay! Hospitalizations and Deaths are coming together. That's good.

Now recall that today, Saturday, is the last full day of the volunteers' reporting week. Sunday and Monday are always weak number days, so are the numbers, daily, 7-day averages, 14-day changes are going to dip in the next two days.

Biden's first two daily numbers have been bad, baad.
