I just heard about your blog and read for the first time. I have been searching for some statistics I could understand and very much appreciate your work. While the news media used to give daily updates on new cases and hospitalizations, that has ceased. I am a little unsure as to why this has occurred. I would like to know how much virus is out there before I decide to go to a restaurant or take off my mask. I hope you continue to keep us informed. Thanks so much.

Thank you. My frustration with the media motivated me to pick up a pen and start writing 13 months ago.

Please continue in some form. I too am keeping a close eye because I have 2 kids too young to receive a vaccine.

Thank you very much. Your two kids are important to me and are a good reason for me to keep writing.

Please continue. I track and try to keep up because of my child, who is too young to be vaccinated yet. Your all in one place analysis has been my go to source. Even if you only continue weekly.

Thank you so much. I am beginning to realize how many young parents are reading my piece and that is very touching.

Thank you for all you've done. I hope you will at least occasionally throw a few numbers at us. But I will respect you if you want to just quietly slip out the back. If I meet you in the neighborhood, I hope to shake your hand, Frank.
