I haven't been paying as much attention to Covid-19 data as in the early days of the pandemic when SA infections ranked in the world's top 10. But after yesterday's announcement by American authorities ending social distancing and masks for the vaccinated, I took another look at the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus data for an update. SA is down to 21st on infections and far lower on deaths. Interesting, too, is that the global mortality peak is behind us (see above) with worldwide coronavirus deaths at 3.3m – around 5% of the 60m people who die every year. The CDC story from our partners at the Wall Street Journal is below. – Alec Hogg
