Hola totally-not-having-a-pandemic pals,
I woke up early on Saturday and went outside.

People were gathered in groups.
It was as if the pandemic had never happened in my cozy little beach barrio.
Nobody was wearing a mask.
People were hugging and leaning on each other.

Its hard right now.

The highest single-day increase in cases since the pandemic began was onSunday 21 June.
This week well look at data from the three nations with the largest increase on that day.
