We have received a significant number of requests to continue publishing the COVID-19 tracker. With the Delta variant on everyone's mind as cases rise again, we are hearing more about school closings, mask mandates, potential shutdowns, vaccine mandates, vaccine effectiveness, the list goes on and on. The vaccines have clearly led to a lower overall level of deaths during this recent wave of Delta variant cases, and that represents considerable progress. Now, with cases looking like they have peaked in the South we will be watching closely to see if seasonality once again leads to a rise in cases in the Northern areas of the U.S. this Fall/Winter. There are still many questions out there, and it's important to follow the data closely.
