Not much new in today’s #COVID19 data — the same disquieting trends are continuing, without meaningful slowing or acceleration. Cases are up to about 730/day, positivity 4.3%.
Hospital admissions are still rising, though not at levels like what we saw in past waves (as one would expect with most vulnerable people vaccinated).
It was about this time in the Spring 2021 wave that case growth started to peak.
The 2020 waves peaked about a week later.
So it wouldn’t be surprising if we’re within a week of peaking. But past trends are not guaranteed to continue!
Vaccination rates are also still marching slowly upward.
Vaccination rates are rising most among teenagers, though this group also has the largest share of unvaccinated people to begin with.
Deaths are rising slowly, but remain quite low compared to what we’ve seen for most of the pandemic.
