I really didn’t think this model would be right. There was nothing in the numbers to say things were going to go up back in September. But they sure did, and fast. The model has absolutely nailed this portion of the COVID-19 outbreak. The 7-day average today is the highest

Remember when I said we hit a new high last week for COVID-19 infections? Well, this week we’ve already topped that number twice. It appears we are indeed in the midst of wave three. Now the question is how high and how long it will go. I thought that this

It’s been a couple weeks. Sorry about that. I’m sorry to report we recently had our highest daily total: 238 infections in a single day. That beats the two previous peaks. The trend is definitely moving up. I’ve heard of several people now in the Washington area that have caught

On Wednesday last week we had our biggest 1-day tally since August 14 with 192 infections. The two week trend is definitely up. It sure does look like Wave 3 is here and on the rise. We had very nice weather last week, so I wonder if we might have

To Michael Shiosaki and whoever else this may concern, It’s been over 200 days that Bellevue Playgrounds have been closed. In the past several weeks, Kirkland and Redmond have both opened their playgrounds that are owned and maintained by the city. It’s time for Bellevue to do the same. The CDC has

Sorry if these posts are a little boring recently. Not a lot has happened. Feels like we’re playing the waiting game. Zooming out a little bit from the daily prediction, the 2nd half of September has been an inflection point, and numbers are ticking up. I don’t know if this
