Weekend – July 4th. No fireworks, no parades, no festival in Issaquah. Continued long slow climb in positive daily cases in WA state. 2.8M cases in the US, accelerating numbers. 130K deaths. Lockdowns return in Spain, India, Kazakhstan.
Friday – many stories of tens/hundreds of thousands of COVID-19 survivors with crippling long term health issues.
Thursday – lack of lockdown discipline caused virus explosion.
Wednesday – Leicester back into lockdown; huge growth via factories in the East of the city.
Tuesday – “US has way too much virus” and “There is a general anti-science, anti-authority, anti-vaccine feeling among some people in this country”. Dr Fauci predicts “100k daily cases” in the US.
Monday – The worst still to come, pandemic accelerating say the WHO.

I need to look for a “better” solution to PHP and SLES.
I understand the balancing act between long term support, backporting patches etc – and that’s why SLES has been such a good friend.
I’d just love WordPress and other apps to stop griping about older versions of PHP.

More to come on this – here’s my placeholder to do a cleaner write up.
Notes:
[Zoom] – OAUTH – API – PowerShell – Excel
Great Zoom PowerShell module from Joseph McEvoy
Quick and dirty PowerShell to read meeting registrants and values of custom questions.
$ZoomRegistrants = Get-ZoomMeetingRegistrants [meetingid] -pagesize 300
$reghashtable = $zoomregistrants.registrants
$outputs = $reghashtable |foreach-object {
return [pscustomobject]@{
regtime = “$($_.create_time)”
email = “$($_.email)”
fname = “$($_.first_name)”
lname = “$($_.last_name)”
member = “$($_.custom_questions.value[0])”
pco = “$($_.custom_questions.value[1])”
campaign = “$($_.custom_questions.value[2])”
}
}

Weekend – “cases surge” in US sun belt states. Another delve into Google search to find the missing Saturday BBC update.
Now over 10MM global cases – and the daily cases is quickly picking up again. Sustained 170k new cases per day.
US new cases is massive – 40k plus per day. Even comparing against Tuesday this is horrific. Again – from JHU.
Weekly update from The Seattle Times. That long slow uptick in cases looks to be mainly from Yakima county. Moving average of around 400 cases/day – which is similar to early April.
Friday – 40k daily cases in the US, TX bars ordered to close. The status quo isn’t working. Social distancing and wearing a mask does. VP Pence claims “US Progress” which is not clear.
Thursday – UK sun – and tens of thousands crowding beaches. US cases continue to climb.
Wednesday – over 9M global positive cases; 500K deaths.
Tuesday – WA Statewide requirement to wear masks in public. Booming cases in Yakima county and broad uptick across the state.
Global daily cases is growing; US daily cases dipped in May after the NY outbreak slowed; but is now picking up again. Back at March/April new cases rates. Graphs from JHU.
Monday – UK starts to open up fully. UK considers social distancing change from 2m to 1m.

Weekend – WHO reports 150k new cases globally on Thursday. Almost 9M reported cases. 2.2M in US.
Usual weekend update via The Seattle Times.
Friday – UK alert system lowered, King county (and Issaquah) move to Phase 2 of reopening. Meanwhile cases are picking up again and WHO warns against a new danger. Virus detected in sewage water from Turin and Milan that was collected in December.
Thursday – contact tracing is hard. Contact tracing with untested mobile applications is even harder. Google and Apple built a framework; UK NHS decided otherwise. It doesn’t work.
Wednesday – WA cases, like in many other states, have ticked upwards. There’s a big argument whether this is more exposure and transmission (warmer weather, folk not distancing, holidays) or through more testing (I don’t believe so). Dexamethasone improves clinical outcomes. No vaccine in sight.
Tuesday – slowly and carefully WA state opens up. King County applies for “Phase 2 reopening”. New Zealand has two cases via travellers from the UK – quarantine testing wasn’t consistent.
Monday – another week. The news continues to oscillate between coronavirus, BLM protests and other news. June gloom (overcast, cool, raining) as always. Looking back – I didn’t think this would be a quarter of the year spent collecting news and data. Looking forward – what is the appropriate update frequency? So much was new and concerning back in early March. That now seems the new normal. Documenting the changes so there is a contemporaneous record I think will be important.
Concerning this morning: new hotspots in Beijing (see yesterday), India and Iran. This looks like a second wave.
