Another day of 40+ #COVID19 deaths in Minnesota, taking the 7-day average up to 35/day. That’s twice as high as two weeks ago.
These #COVID19 deaths are happening at record paces both in and out of long-term-care facilities.
But the news on newly confirmed cases… wasn’t terrible? Yes, more than 5,500 new cases, which is super high. But the number of cases went down from yesterday while tests went up, which hasn’t been the norm lately.

One day doesn’t make a trend, of course.
The number of new hospital admissions was also lower than the peaks of the last three days, though still up week over week. Again, probably just a blip — watch future days of data to see how the trend shifts.
New #COVID19 cases are rising in all areas of the state — except southeastern Minnesota, which has the faintest hint of a plateau? We’ll see if it lasts…
New active, confirmed #COVID19 cases in Minnesota have crossed the 40,000 mark:

Another day, another smashed #COVID19 record in Minnesota. Today, 8,703 newly reported cases, 20% higher than the old record set two days ago.

The 7-day average is nearly 5,900 new cases per day. Image
Here’s cases by sample date, a week delayed. You can see tests done last Saturday had nearly 4,000 positives. A week or so before THAT, that would have been a record high for a weekday, let alone weekends that usually have lower volumes. Image
Now, today’s record 8,703 confirmed #COVID19 cases did come on a record 51,956 tests. But tests are growing at 1.2% per day, while cases are expanding by 3.1% per day. Minnesota’s 7-day average positivity rate is 15%. ImageImage

THREAD: Buckle up, because here’s a story about how the course of history was altered… by sheep in coats. 1/
2/ Our story begins with Auguste de Marmont, the Duke of Ragusa. Born in 1774, Marmont met a young cadet named Napoleon Bonaparte, and soon became the rising general’s friend, and later aide-de-camp. Marmont rose through the ranks himself, commanding a corps by 1805.
3/ In 1809, Napoleon made Marmont a Marshal of France, though wags quipped that Marmont had only been promoted because of his long friendship with Napoleon. Marmont fought in Spain and Germany, and in the defense of France from the Coalition’s invasion in 1814.

56 new #COVID19 deaths in Minnesota. That’s not just a record, it’s half again as large as the old record, set just last week. Minnesota is now averaging 32 COVID deaths per day over the past week, and rising *sharply*. Image
These new #COVID19 deaths in Minnesota are rising both in and out of long-term-care facilities. Non-LTC deaths are at a record high. LTC deaths are averaging 19.7/day, a faction below the record of 20/day set on May 30. Image
New #COVID19 hospitalizations are down a bit from yesterday’s record, but are up week-over-week, setting a new 7-day average record of 186/day. A month ago this was 67/day. Image

A new one-day record today for newly reported #COVID19 hospitalizations in Minnesota: Image
Today’s 4,906 newly reported cases put Minnesota’s 7-day average up to 4,665 cases per day, up 200 from yesterday’s figure, as this continues its steady rise: Image
Unlike recent weeks, we didn’t see a collapse in testing values in today’s Tuesday report. The positivity rate actually declined, both day-over-day and week-over-week. But as I always say, don’t make too big a deal over minor blips in the data. Wait to see what’s sustained. Image

Minnesota reported 3,930 new #COVID19 cases today, down from 5,924 yesterday.

But this isn’t good news. Testing volume fell, as it often does in Monday reports. Lower testing explains ALL of the drop, & then some — the positivity rate continued to climb, even as cases fell. ImageImage
Like new cases, newly reported #COVID19 deaths fell day-over-day but are rising week-over-week. The 7-day average here is now 27 #COVID19 deaths per day, a record high for Minnesota. Image
#COVID19 deaths are rising both in and out of long-term care facilities. Non-LTC #COVID19 deaths are higher than they’ve ever been. Image
