Dear Reader:

Somewhat better numbers today, from worldometers. info/ coronavirus:

236,921 global cases March 19, 271,675 global cases March 20, and 286,402 cases today, March 21- a smaller increase from yesterday to today than the increase from day before yesterday to yesterday.

Also a smaller increase in the number of global deaths between yesterday and today vs yesterday and the day before: March 19: 9,829 total deaths, March 20: 11,299, March 21, 11,885

Also, better news here: of the current 105,471 closed global cases, 93,586 recovered, which is 89% (11,885 died, which is 11%). Also better news, of the current open/ active global cases, 96% of patients are in Mild Condition (4% are in Serious or Critical condition).

Also—  No New coronavirus cases or deaths from coronavirus in Italy today !!!

With regret and empathy for all people who are sick today, sick from any kind of disease, and people who lost people they loved to death for any reason, from any cause, I am happy today for these better numbers. I feel ecstatic at this time, I so very, very much want this pandemic to end. I will write more later, but I want this out just in case anyone reads this, just in case. (As I submit this, I didn’t listen to any reports out there, nor interpretations of the numbers, all I’ve seen were the numbers I pointed to in this post, so I received no validation to my optimism this morning).
