Today the worldwide case count hit 100,000, with over 55,000 recovered and almost 3,400 dead. PlagueBlog will be at an inadvisable public gathering on the NH/MA border this weekend and will be unable to provide our usual level of gory detail. Just one note: Biogen maintains that its three infected employees are all out of state, even though they seem to have infected one another here in Massachusetts, meaning that the ex Italy case in their county is not an employee. PlagueBlog reserves judgement for the moment.
One other point of information: you may have heard about two strains, L and S, one nastier than the other, of SARS-Cov-2. The paper the media picked this up from is pretty baseless and has already been debunked in the literature, so ignore.
P.S. Channel 4 reports 3 Massachusetts cases from Biogen’s what-were-you-thinking conference last week, and 2 more out-of-state cases.
