Yo... Colorado...

Does it seem like you're starting to know more people getting COVID again?

A quick THREAD (look who's back baby!)

Yes... things have turned. (SEE BELOW)

#covid19Colorado

CASES

We've DOUBLED cases in arond 3 weeks

Not crazy growth... but definitely growing.

POSITIVITY

We're now two weeks over 5%

Seeing steady growth here.

HOSPITALIZATIONS

Creeping back up slowly.
(also... keep in mind... this has become a very TRICKY dataset... LOW % of hospuitals now reporting + patients admitted WITH/DUE to COVID)

So... what's it all mean?

We're in the midst of another SPRING wave.

Last two ended in early May. Ideally we start to come down again soon.

Hard to say what it's doing to patient counts, but seems far from overwhelming right now

Bottom line

Yeah, you're likely seeing more people you know get sick.

It's following similar past patterns.

Not a big concern right now. But worth watching.

Take care!!! (don't be a jerk. be nice. yadda yadda)
