Day 650: Russia Sets Records

Russia edged out the US last week with 200 more deaths (for the week), according to the Moscow Times. Russia's overall numbers have gotten a lot of attention, but rates are rising all over Europe. Heavily vaccinated Germany hit 50,000 new cases in one day today. The Netherlands also broke records with 16,000 new cases today. Their neighbors aren't doing any better; central Europe is particularly hot.

While we're looking at the numbers, it's worth noting that the world has exceeded 250 million cases and 5 million deaths from COVID-19. Massachusetts is currently 18th in total cases in the US, with Missouri hot on our tail.

P.S. The MDPH took the holiday off.
