Case Update: June 8th, 2021 |

This is a COVID case update. New case numbers for the US, California, and San Diego County continue to steadily drop. In particular, San Diego County has seen fewer than 100 cases in a single day reported 15 times in the last 2 weeks. Also, California has had several days with less than 1,000 cases, and the US has had several days with less than 10,000 cases.

San Diego County Media Briefing, June 8th, 2021

Things feel like they’re getting back to normal all over. As I’ve mentioned before, I still haven’t been vaccinated, and am often the only weirdo wearing a mask in an indoor environment. It doesn’t bother me. I know at least 60% of the people I encounter have been vaccinated, and I’m also used to being a weirdo.

Internationally, case numbers are down, but not everywhere. Cases in India are coming down, but cases in Brazil are persistent. There are still countries in Southeast Asia that have very high new case numbers.
