At eight-something tonight Johns Hopkins count stood at 599,96-something. Now it's--see title.
I have been tracking this all day. I actually was surprised and relieved that it wasn't at 600k when I awoke this morning. I am happy to report that my prediction last night that that mark would be hit this "morning" was incorrect.
I remember getting frustrated with Hopkins over the give-and-take, as I have been with the New York Times. Whatever, 599,928 it is.
