Day 669: Counting the Days

PlagueBlog's day count is of the days since COVID-19 officially arrived in Massachusetts (straight from Wuhan), but others are also counting the days. At r/flattenthecurvecount, "it's day 632 of 15 days to flatten the curve." At artist/vlogger Sir Wizzo's Instagram it's "day 623 of the coronavirus catastrophe." But closest in pace to us is a more all-caps political COVID chronicle called Nextrush Free, where it's "Day [625] of the Dictatorship of COVID-19, Day [625] of America and the World held hostage to COVID shots." Don't be fooled by the miscount; the blog predates the jabs.

Of perhaps more interest than an all-caps history of the plague years is eugyppius' latest post linking the great awokening to coronavirus craziness on campus. He believes COVID may bring down the ivory tower in the end—but all without conspiracies or direction, because that's the nature of the bureaucratic West.

P.S. Massachusetts cases were up two fifths of a percentage point.
