Hi WSB – I was just looking to check the update from last night given all the recent news and movements around dropping masks vs CDC guidance etc and realized I hadn’t seen a pandemic update the last two weeks and also hadn’t seen anything announcing they were stopping. I also looked for the coronavirus section in the menu to see if I’d missed it but saw that had been removed. Was there a post where it was announced that this was stopping that I missed? The last update I found still said there were 30,000 new positive cases that week I think. Thanks.

The coronavirus coverage category has not been removed.

I have not published a numbers breakdown yet this week. In light of what happened last week with the school-district numbers, I am still mulling what to do going forward.

  Thank you for the link! I just realized what was going on. It used to pop up on the first of these lists (with the drop down at the top of the page) but now I have to hit the second button (the grid) to see it listed. Or at least that’s what I’m remembering. I could be totally wrong. That’s why I got confused. Thanks for the correction.

Sorry, comment time is over.
