A big spike in newly reported #COVID19 deaths today, though we’ll see if this persists or is a one-time unfortunate blip:

As for newly reported cases, they’re down day-over-day but at the same level as last Wednesday. The decline in cases was matched by a decline in tests (unusual for a Wednesday). Positivity rate did decline slightly:

No real change to the trend of rising hospitalizations (the slight declines in both lines are probably a result of incomplete reporting):

Similarly, the regional distribution of newly reported cases in MN is following pre-existing trends.

A week ago, 50-somethings were getting COVID-19 at about the same rate as people 30-50. Peope under 20 were getting it at about the same rate as people 60+.

Now both 50-somethings and under-20s have diverged for the better.
