Another day of double-digit #COVID19 deaths in Minnesota, leaving the trend line squarely in the mid-teens per day: 
Deaths are up over the last few weeks in both long-term-care and non-LTC settings:
#COVID19 deaths are now highest in Greater Minnesota, adjusted for population. That hadn’t happened in Minnesota before the last month — deaths had always been highest in the metro, and especially Hennepin/Ramsey:
Meanwhile newly reported #COVID19 cases continue to trend upward. Yes, this is on strong testing — but testing doesn’t explain all the rise.
As fast as testing has expanded — and it really has! — cases have been growing even more quickly recently:
As a result, the positivity rate has very slowly increased over the past few weeks, now averaging 5.7%:
Hospitalizations appear to still be trending upward, even if not quite as fast as they were a week ago. (This data can be messy looking at the past few days, due to reporting delays.)
