#COVID19 UPDATE THREAD – APRIL 13

All graphics are 7-day averages. Today’s raw reporting for each metric is in the tweet below.

(Data retrieved directly from state dashboards. Not every state updates its numbers daily.)

UNITED STATES

Today’s raw reported metrics:

- Tests: 1,330,264 (+22,755)

- Cases: 76,267 (+16,481)

- Deaths: 804 (-24)

- Currently Hospitalized: 41,152 (+1,054)

- Currently in ICU: 7,899 (+204)

(+/- compared to same day last week for Tests/Cases/Deaths & yesterday for Hosp/ICU)

Some big plus signs up there (and one important minus sign). Received a few non-pipeline dumps in cases today, but I’m not pulling them out of the numbers. Most are just the slinky effect in action (AL dumped from as far back as Oct, but only 1150 total cases).

We’re now at our highest 7-day average for both cases and % positive since 2/18, but at our lowest number for deaths since 10/19.

MI was another state that seemed to inject a pretty hefty backlog of some sort, but for both cases and tests. So the percent testing positive actually dropped to the point where it’s about flat week-over-week now.

Vaccine update. Yet another new peak for the 7-day average.

We’re starting to see some rise now in regions that were flat or down recently, but let’s see what the rest of the week brings. I’ll get the regionals up here in a few…
