When I do update my spreadsheets, they can be found:

This is as much a test to see just what got my last update moderated.
It would seem the trigger was number of links. Being in the habit of including the links to the supporting data rather than just a name - eg "Rick Jones' Spreadsheets" I'm not sure if I will bother with the updates going forward.
Well, TX and MS seem to have declared the pandemic over--yep, just open everything up. Last chance to catch Covid--hurry now!!
I don't suppose there's a breakdown of who is now dying from covid and their party affiliation? Sorry, their governors' claim that cases are dropping is bogus. The reporting artifacts from the freeze caused a drop in cases--but numbers have bounced back up even though tests are not back up to pre-freeze levels. Yes, case counts are off their highs--but that does not make them low.
Overall, places have been opening up too early--literally just a week or two would have made all the difference in the world. Looks like TX, SC, GA, FL RI, CT, NY and NJ plateauing above 25 new cases/day/100K. Case numbers seem to be leveling or bouncing up right after announcements of some re-opening--and that is still showing up in hospitalizations. No major drop off in deaths due to vaccinations of the vulnerable--at least not yet.
My assumption is that comparatively few Fox News viewers will catch the virus. They're in the demographic that gets priority for vaccinations and (when they go to confront mask wearing people in stores and other places) they're protected from the virus by the masks that other people are wearing. By contrast, while masks are reasonably effective at preventing the spread of the virus, they aren't all that effective at protecting the wearer.
Which is the great irony about the claim that this is about "freedom". It's about one group of people being able to exercise "freedom" but only at the expense of the people who are protecting them from actually getting the virus. Texas choses it own fate, that true, but it always decides everyone else's fate, too.
Go Canada! They've almost got that thing crushed to zero.
Here's hoping the UK manages to crush it to zero before they hit 2000 deaths/million. It's looking like it - they've got it down to 4 deaths/million/day, and falling fast.
Meanwhile, the US death rate is only down compared to that horrible winter surge. This is what I feared would happen - as soon as the vaccines got going and a decent number of the elderly and folks with high risk conditions got them, Covid restrictions would start collapsing (starting in red states) and we'd bet a bunch of pointless hospitalizations and deaths.
Ugh. It's a good thing just about anyone who wants to be vaccinated will be by the end of May.
Backlog distortions. Total hospitalization is heading below 40000.
Canada's covid death rate is down very close to one per million per day. However, most of Canada is maintaining precautions; mask mandates, distancing, reduced capacity in restaurants, etc., and bans on large gatherings.
Canadians don't hear the fat lady singing yet.
