Just 3 newly reported #COVID19 deaths in Minnesota today. It’s only the 26th time since MN’s first COVID death that 3 or fewer deaths were reported, though 14 of those times were on Mondays, which typically have low reporting levels.
The 7-day average is down to 23 deaths/day.

Minnesota’s #COVID19 deaths are down both in and out of long-term care facilities, but we’re not YET seeing a disproportionate plunge in LTC deaths as a result of vaccinations.
Newly reported cases continue to decline, but at a slowing rate. The 7-day average is now just over 1,200 new cases per day. It’s possible MN’s case volume is bottoming out.
Positivity rate is also declining, and in fact just dropped under 4% for the first time since Sept. 16.
It looks increasingly like #COVID19 ICU hospitalizations have bottomed out, whether you look at new admissions or bed use.
Non-ICU hospitalizations continue to decline, though.

Even the vaccine news isn’t terrible today, though it could be better. We’ve now had three consecutive days with more than 20,000 reported doses; the 7-day average is rising to a new high of around 15,000/day.
BUT MN needs to be doing 40K per day or more to finish this summer.
