From Worldometer (new COVID-19 deaths yesterday):
DAY USA WORLD Brazil India South Africa
Summary:
- Compared to the USA, India had almost ten times the number of new cases yesterday: 28,541 versus 276,261. The U.S. on January 2 of this year had 299,087 new cases.
- #2 was Brazil with 79,706 new cases and Argentina #3 with 39,652.
- There has recently been a troublesome uptick in Asian new cases. Yesterday:

- Japan 4962
- Sri Lanka 3623
- Thailand 3394
- South Korea 653
- Taiwan 272
- China 14
- While seemingly miniscule, Taiwan had only 1290 cases and 12 deaths during the entire pandemic. Residents today were warned to stay home and wear masks when going out. Oh, the fine if you don't ranges from $330 to $5000. Only 1% of the populace has been vaccinated. Apparently, airline staff on international flights has been the recent cause.
The New York Times today reported that the labor shortage faced by businesses is caused by a variety factors, including the Congressional economic packages, but the primary cause is that the pay rate has not increased as much as company profits:
The problem will go away when the free enterprise system kicks in, as for example:
Bank of America announced Tuesday that it would raise its minimum hourly wage to $25 and insist that contractors pay at least $15 an hour.
There might be no need for Congress to intervene on minimum wage.
