NOTE: There is little to report other than what is below. The most revealing data, the Erie Co Wastewater Graph has not been updated this week, as I write this. The articles below are very explanatory and interesting.
Jetelina: Why Older People Are At Greater Risk of COVID EXCELLENT article about Seniors and COVID. Great detail about each part of the immune system in Seniors.
R Dawson, PHD: Anatomy of a Clinical Trial How clinical trials work.
The Atlantic: Katherine Wu: The Pandemic's Soft Closing Good Read. Things are not as easy as the CDC would have us believe, “barreling into fall.”
