Every day, we still see tens of thousands of new cases of Covid-19 infections being reported or confirmed, and thousands of deaths. Yesterday, the United States reported 30,929 new cases with 2201 more deaths, the totals now at around 1.1 million total cases in the country and 64,000 dead as a result of the viral pandemic.
A number of reasons can and will account for this seeming defiance of positivity. Every single day of April saw more than 20,000 new cases reported. Every single day of April saw over 1000 dead. More than half the time, the number of dead topped 2000, including for three consecutive days after having been below that in three of the previous four.
