COVID metrics continue to improve

Solid progress

For the most part, I’ve only really written about COVID every three weeks or so over the last few months. That’s a good thing, as it means there isn’t much to say that hasn’t been said already.

There was a part of me that wanted to say in this post that this will be the last stand alone COVID update, as I hope things will generally improve and we will not have any surprises or much reason for me to write anymore.
