Interesting to see a jump in cases today in the U.S.
It is most unfortunate. The R0 in Georgia is once again above 1, at 1.1. See the bottom of this page:

The news from Japan is brighter. Daily new cases range from 30 to 40. 15 of the ones yesterday came from one hospital. That's good in a way, because you know the source of infection and you know everyone who may have been exposed.
In other news from Japan, the high schools are still closed and the recent voluntary "soft" shutdown was softer than expected. Regional healthcare hotlines report there has been a 250% increase in calls from young women, mostly under 20, saying "I think I am pregnant, what should I do?!?"
This is a return to the Japan of my youth. Somehow it restores my faith in the young people of Japan, their mores, and their future. Still, they darn well should be more careful with contraceptives. As they say in Britain: be good, and if you can't be good, be careful.
