Nevada COVID-19 updates for 11/14:

🧪 Test positivity is UP: 7-day avg is 28.4%, or 14.9% using state method
🏥 Hospitalizations are UP: 1,025, +40 from the previous day
😷 Cases are UP: 1,437 new cases/day on avg (+57)
📅 10 days to improve before new restrictions ImageImageImage
If you haven't been following these tweets every day I have explained the methodology I use in pulling these numbers here:
Now, some noteworthy updates: We keep hitting new records for cases. Yesterday, we hit a record 1,888 new cases reported in a single day. Clark hit a record 1,567 cases reported in a single day today. Washoe hit a record 529 record cases reported in a single day yesterday.
It's not just the urban counties. Rural counties are setting records too: Lincoln County reported 21 new cases yesterday and 42 new cases today. Nye reported 50 new cases today, which is it's second-highest single day total. Elko reported a record 73 cases two days ago.
The good (kinda? good is relative) news for Clark is that it hasn't yet reached its previous peak in terms of its seven-day average. This is important b/c the average smooths out the impact of spikes. Avg is 946 today, compared to 1,073 in July.
Washoe didn't see the same kind of pronounced peak this summer that Clark did. But its seven-day average keeps climbing this fall. It was 388 new cases/day as of yesterday, when Washoe last reported its data.
Hospital trends follow case trends. Washoe hospitalizations are a lot higher than they were over the summer, while Clark hospitalizations haven't climbed as high. We haven't been over 1,000 hospitalizations since Aug. 9 though.
If you want to look at the data for yourself, as always, check out our COVID-19 data page. It updates multiple times a day, even on the weekends and holidays: thenevadaindependent.com/coronavirus-da…

The Clark County Commission is meeting soon to canvass its results in the election. Follow along here for updates!
Attorney Craig Mueller is here in front of the Clark County Commish asking for a "total revote." Mueller is alleging that the Clark County registrar "flooded the county" with an additional 93,000 ballots, which he says wouldn't have been a problem if not for the sig ver machine.
Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria is now speaking before the commission. He's going through thanking people who were involved in the election process, including local law enforcement and fire, shopping centers that offered space for polling sites, etc.

Nevada COVID-19 updates for 11/16:

🧪 Test positivity is UP: 7-day avg is 30.4%, or 15.4% using state method
🏥 Hospitalizations are UP: 1,157, just eight shy of this summer's record
😷 Cases are UP: 1,491 new cases/day on avg (+59)
📅 8 days to improve before new restrictions ImageImageImage
As always, methodology here:
Some things worth elaborating on: Our peak hospitalizations was 1,165 this summer on July 31. We're almost back at that number now with 1,157 hospitalizations. Clark hospitalizations are climbing too, but this surge is being fueled by Washoe.

The Washoe County Commission will be canvassing its returns from the election this morning. Final turnout in Washoe County was a record 83.02%.

Follow along here for updates! Image
Also although we had gotten indications that Washoe was still going to be tabulating its provisional/same day ballots over the weekend, total turnout in Washoe (252,563) hasn't changed in this presentation from the registrar of voters... which makes me think maybe this is it.
Washoe County Registrar Deanna Spikula is giving a brief presentation to the county commission about the election. You can download it here: washoecounty.us/bcc/board_comm…

In summary, this is the universe of ballots that could still be counted in Clark:

- 63,262 mail (b/w Election Day drop off, USPS from ED/Wed, + ballots pending prior to ED)
- 241 NEW mail added to that total today
- 60,000 provisional
- 44,000 ID-required
- 2,100 need sig cure
There's been a lot of confusion at this press conference: Joe Gloria, Clark County registrar, mentioned two separate universes of mail ballots yesterday: 51k that were being processed yesterday and that other 63k that were not yet being processed.
That 51k number was wrong, because it referred to PAGES, not individual ballots. In reality, there were about 30K ballots. That was what was reported out of Clark County this morning.

The daily press conference at the Clark County Elections Department is kicking off now. I'll be live tweeting the highlights here, so follow along!
Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria says when he said that there were 51,000 ballots being processed yesterday to be reported today, that was incorrect. There were actually only a little over 30,000 (the number reported this morning.)
They inadvertently reported the number of page numbers that needed to be counted, not the number of individual ballots. However, the 63,000 number that he gave yesterday (of mail ballots left to be counted) is correct.

🧪 Test positivity remains high. Cumulative test positivity is 12.70%; avg daily test positivity is 22.31%.

🏥 COVID-19 hospitalizations are at 740, +46 from the previous day and our first time above 700 since late August.
