The COVID infection rate in my county is back over one again, indicating renewed spread of infections. Last year the infection rate stayed below one from April 16 to June 26, which was last time it was below one until January 22, 2022. On March 13 the rate went back up over one. Last year dipped below one for one month, January 13 to February 13 and by March 14 the rate reached 1.31, which has been the high point during the pandemic after the initial surge in March 2020. In short, it looks like the "seasonal" rate increase is lagging behind last year but remains to be seen whether or not it reaches up to peak levels. Meanwhile, the state of Michigan announced they will only be refreshing the COVID data once a week, on Wednesdays. #
