All-cause mortality in the US & other nations has increased as a result of COVID-19.

In case anyone is wondering about a day in the life of a PI scientist, n=1 example today I have:
- walked dog, fed children, school run
- started a script to analyse a bunch of images (looks like it will take about a week to run, thanks Marti for the amazing programming)
