I've been watching the Med Center charts in Houston since they offer a "macro" view of a large population.

The hospitalizations have started to fall off and are now seem to be in a decline.

I'm not a medical person, just someone who watches trends.

Thoughts?

Maybe. This virus defies all simple explanations and expectations.

For example, Israel was still skyrocketing upwards until possibly just in the last few days.

The UK had a precipitous climb, a sharp downturn that did not drop down to pre-season levels, and is now climbing again.

With schools back and universities mandating testing I expect cases to pop up in about a week then rapidly decline.

In the last 5 days I have had 11 students (out of 160) identify as testing positive.
