1,096 new Indiana #coronavirus cases (the fourth straight day over 1,000, but the fewest in that span) and five newly reported deaths, fewest in a week, bringing the death toll to 3,447. Counting presumptive #COVID19 deaths, the total death toll is 3,674.
The 7-day positivity average, which runs a week behind, has been rising or holding flat for a week; now at 4.6%, highest in 18 days. Among 1st-time patients, it's 8.1%, highest since August 6.

Today's batch was 4.3% (all tests) and 11.3% (1st-timers), both lowest in four days.
950 Hoosiers are hospitalized with #coronavirus, 39 more than yesterday. Of those, 279 are in intensive care, three fewer than yesterday.

Only one of the five newly reported deaths occurred yesterday, with the rest the day before.
Brown County, which for several days has had the highest positivity average in Indiana, drops all the way to zero, for the same reason it was high to begin with: not many tests. The four positives which led to a high % have dropped out of the 7-day window.
Benton and Switzerland Counties, like Brown, show zero positivity but with little testing. The lowest average with at least four days of testing is Orange County at .3%.
Four counties are above the 10% "orange line," with Pike highest at 11.9%. Positivity is a day behind ISDH's #COVID score, which combines positivity and number of cases; only one of the four, Spencer, is graded orange on that map.
