The seriousness of Covid-19 has led to the usual finger pointing. It is always easier to blame others than to deal with reality.

"We know how the COVID-19 pandemic began: Bats near Wuhan, China, hold a mix of coronavirus strains, and sometime last fall one of the strains, opportunistic enough to cross species lines, left its host or hosts and ended up in a person. Then it was on the loose."

For those who have not seen it, I have been compiling daily tracking data from the website

Worldometer.

Since DT said over a month ago that we could see 'light at the end of the tunnel' I have been examining the available data to identify when we reach the peak in Active Cases of COVID-19.

We have not reached it yet.
