The latest cohort analysis shows no rise in hospitalization rate, continued decline in death rate.

Deaths among LTC residents truly fell dramatically with vaccination.

Minnesota, after a rocky start, is making solid progress on vaccination across all age groups.

It is pretty solid science behind the function (or lack thereof) of masks.

The pace of research reporting has slowed a bit in recent days, but I will providing regular summaries as research is published.

The summer weather won't prevent me from getting out research summaries, but a stomach bug did.

Latest national case and death animations.

Light research day, so a little ranting and a couple of observations.

Mid-week research summaries.

I won't forget what a walking disaster the IB has been during the epidemic and neither should you.

The usual dump of research, lot of vaccine and adaptive immunity focus.

If you watch these animations you can see the course of the epidemic across age groups.

Still no sign of the mythic surge in younger age hospitalizations.

The year-over-year comparison is interesting but confounded by so many changes.

Early in the week research summaries.
