I have been closely tracking COVID deaths. (My morbid confession.) On average, 1,000 deaths are realized daily. By January, if we don’t assume basic public health approaches, new models predict 3,000 daily deaths. I’m not a numbers gal.

Although told ad nauseam numbers are clear-cut, I despise mathematics, finding the subject difficult to comprehend.
