24,590 infections? That's nothing.

The US had 704,661 new cases yesterday and the UK had 94,747.

The two countries actually dealing with the reality of the pandemic have nothing-burgers for new cases. China had 91, New Zealand 40.

See age group split ... new record set for the young adults 20-29. Beating the summer record of July when easing restrictions was the bold message ... dancing with Janssen. The booster campaign was too late and too slow ... comparison with neighboring countries is quite complicated.
