NOËL PERRY UPDATE:

Monday marked the first of the expected pauses in the fall of new cases in the U.S.. Led by gains in most of the Big city/Industrial states, U.S. week-over-week numbers were up for the first time in two weeks. Western Europe went through three or four such disappointing stretches.

Of more concern is the rising trend for cases in Iran. Could this be signs of the first second wave of cases? Probably not. The charts at the bottom of Exhibit 1 show that deaths have continued to decline in Iran despite the swing upwards over the last two weeks in cases. Looks like the Iranians are keeping records differently now.


We’ll be back on tomorrow with COVID-19 updates and information that came through overnight.

Continuing our service theme, here are the Andrews Sisters singing, “The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.
