Day 318: Alas, Phase 3

The world is at 73.6 million cases. The US at 17 million; #2 India is quickly approaching 10 million and #3 Brazil is slowly approaching 7 million. Late last week, Massachusetts edged out Colorado to return to #19 in state case totals. (Massachusetts cases were up one and a quarter of a percent yesterday and are up one and a third of a percent today.)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts rolled back to Phase 3 Step 1 last week, and this week several cities and towns (Arlington, Boston, Brockton, Lynn, Newton, Somerville, and Winthrop) rolled all the way back to Phase 2 Step 2. Several more are expected to follow us over the cliff soon, while others have already declared their intention to keep the gyms and barstools open.
