Just thought I would drop by again tonight and share about the latest daily report on new cases and deaths, in the state of Oregon.
It's frightening, if you ask me. Last time I posted the daily cases documented stood at about 400+. But in today's report, new cases went up by 100 (in less than a week) and more deaths.
I noticed in the short blurbs about each person who succumbed to the Covid-19 virus died within weeks of it being discovered. Here's a copy and past of that portion of the daily report, so you can see for yourself the short time span between discovery and losing your life.

The most interesting part is the diagram which shows the variants of the Covid-19 virus, and how many people have been infected by each variant.
The image won't transfer to this post, but here are the variants and cases reported for each type:
B.1.1.7 - 60 cases
P.1 - 4 cases
B.1.351 - 8 cases
B.1.427 - 124 cases
B.1.429 - 474 cases
B.1.526 - 13 cases
P.2 - 6 cases
B.1.525 - 6 cases
8 known strains of Covid-19 in our state.
Metro area county cases are going up daily, as well as hospital admissions, with some people dying in just a few short weeks.
So very scary and terribly worrisome.
