"COVID winding down" (taps ear piece) sorry, I'm being told that should be "COVID winding rule even-odd."I have Safari configured to use Reader Mode by default, and this is what one of NYT's "interactive" graphics looked like. It's beautiful.

Yeah, umm….
And suddenly the mountain-esque shape reminds me of that old NES Olympics game where I always failed the cliff-jump event.
It also looks like the mountains surrounding Shang Tsung's island in the '95 movie version of Mortal Kombat.
Epyx's World Games cliff-diving?
That's the one. It's a good thing Nintendo was still anti-blood at the time, 'cause I'm sure my sprite cracked his skull on those rocks a thousand times.
Also: TIL that Epyx was based in SF proper rather than down in the Valley.
Epyx was in Sunnyvale and Redwood City

Meanwhile, in poop: "More than a third of the CDC’s wastewater sample sites ..showed rising Covid-19 trends in the period ending March 1 to March 10"
That's really just a heatmap of US population with a few additional minor variables with small variances pasted on top.
The next few weeks will be a useful test of sewage sampling, in that if it acts as a 2-week forward indicator of forthcoming exponential growth due to a new variant. However, this being Science of Human Biology, it's entirely possible we could see exponential growth in sewage and then not have mass spread following.
So this period takes around nine days to end, starting to end on March 1 and finally finishing its ending on the 10th? Or is it the rising trends that are ending?
