I follow Worldometers throughout the day. Weekends are always slow as are Mondays in most countries.

Last weekend was at 68,000 New Cases. So we're up about 35%.

We're going to hit 200,000 New Daily Cases in 7-10 days.

another couple hundred thousand per day is right around the corner.

I only go out once a week and always fully masked with an original N95. Today I saw the customers and employees unmasked at the 4 stops I made. I felt very depressed all afternoon since I have seen everyone masked until a few weeks ago. The Delta variant doesn't seem to be giving people a sense of alarm.
