I just got an email about this,,,,

1. Too soon

The 'stealth' variant is here and without daily tracking people will stop thinking about the threat.

[KarenS]

2. It seems like that's what they want,,,,

and I agree too soon.

5. I agree with you

It seems capitalism wants free reign...pandemic threat be damned.

6. I spelled reign that way on purpose

3. No, I hadn't seen this. On the Dashboard itself,

on the Home page, there’s just an announcement that Internet Explorer will no longer be supported; change to Safari, etc., but nothing about this much larger change. Oh well, left hand, right hand.

I guess we’re lucky we had a Dashboard at all, with “businessman” Ducey in charge. There really is a lot of day to day variability, which makes a pattern hard to discern. That’s why yesterday I calculated an average death rate over the past week. I guess we can live with a weekly report. It’s part of “covid is over” which seems to be what a lot of people want to think. Even I actually had a much-needed plumber in the house today, finally. With extreme counter-measures!

4. Yes, much too soon!

This, combined with a sense of spring fever,
will not be good.

7. We have so many superspreader events all winter, the state doesn't want the numbers

exposed. Our daily covid cases prior to the golf tournament were around 1,400. After the event, we are again over 3,000.

8. I think I agree with Dr. Carmona and his collogues.
