If you like data, you'll love USA Facts. It's a private company funded by Steve Ballmer, formerly of Microsoft. Baller is worth 108 billion, so he can afford to set up his own little data company. Without going into too much detail here, I'll give you pertinent links. I got on their email list, so I get stuff from them all the time. Some recent COVID info made me think about doing a post. (Did I mention CHARTS and GRAPHS! I love CHARTS and GRAPHS!)
Bonus - Editorial cartoons gather by the St. Louis Post Dispatch. I have a subscription. I hope you can get to them. If not I'll cut and paste them next week.

Thanks Mike.
I'm already too flooded with email to subscribe to anything else, but I'll gladly read the facts that you pass on.
Cloudia - Nau mai haere mai
Kirk - Send me a list. I'll pick something for you to drop.
Thank you.
There are those of us who believe in the facts (and science) and then there are the simple-minded idiots who don't and are overcrowding our hospitals. I have no sympathy for them and have been criticized by some of my Christian friends, but these idiots are killers who, through their stupidity, continue to prolong this pandemic. All the charts and graphs in the world would do these idiots no good and the more I read them, the more stupid these people become. Thanks for the info.
I'm with Kirk. If I subscribe to any more lists I'd have to give up something. I already can't keep up and comment all the blogs that show up in my reader.
If you didn't trust him as CEO of microsoft, why do so as a news distributor?
Sue - Have fun with the charts and graphs!
Simmons - As I read your comment I'm going, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep...
Kathy - I don't read all the USA Facts emails. But I look at what topic the email is about, then normally delete and move on. But when I saw the COVID info I thought POST! And then tell everyone in case they don't know about the site. Like I told Kirk, send me a list and I'll pick something for you to delete so you can add USA Facts. :)
Anon - I trust you less by making an anonymous comment. AND, who is 'you'? AND, why do you think 'you' didn't trust him?
Thanks for the info. The editorial cartoon bonus was a welcome treat! I love those, even when I disagree.
Allen - Lots of good stuff to look at.
I'm reminded of the old quote ... "He uses statistics as a drunk uses a lamppost ... for support rather than illumination."
Bill - Statistics are boring... until they are turned into CHARTS AND GRAPHS!!
