MONDAY #COVID19Colorado update

Headline: Seeing continued and troubling increase in patient count. Positivity nearing ten.

HOSPITALIZATIONS
covid+ ONLY

Today: 1394 (Up 98 from Friday)
Last week: 1236

(this is a net gain of 158 in a week)

#9news

POSITIVITY

Now highest since Dec 13

CASES

Still growing

DEATHS

Around 25 per day

ICU BEDS AVAILABLE

123 as of last count

What's it all mean?

Look for pressure to mount this week for @GovofCO to do something.

His metric has always been HOSPITALIZATIONS.

At this rate, we'll jump past Dec 2020 high in 3-4 weeks.

Bottom line...

This is a bad start to yet another critical week.

Watch hospitalizations closely. (as usual).

But also keep an eye on POSITIVITY (10% has always been a bit of a red line)

Take care yall.
