Five Hundred Thousand. We’re finally there. Top O’ the world, Ma’…bigly. So by the Worldometer count, we ended yesterday about 9 short of 500k (as I type this we’ve already surpassed that). New cases and hospitalizations and deaths are way down and now the race is on to get enough vaccinations distributed and keep the public from getting complacent in order to prevent another surge.
