The Daily Dread - Tracking the spread, 4/16/21
All times Pacific, source: Johns Hopkins/NBC News
Uh ... It's been awhile. But the stats are slower and more sparse, which could be indicative of the progress that's been made, so somehow the news isn't tracking it as closely, like multiple times every day. We often go HOURS, even whole dayparts, without any new statistics.
At 11:56am TODAY, April 16th.
Confirmed cases US - 31,658,189
Deaths US - 569,537
The last such graphic I saw came at 5:04pm, last Sunday, April 11th. Compare:
Confirmed cases US - 31,328,092
Deaths US - 566,027
As of TODAY, another set of stats:
Vaccine doses distributed - 258.5 million
Doses administered - 202.2 million
People fully vaccinated - 80.6 million
