Our weekly analysis is up. Week over week, we saw cases, hospitalizations, and deaths decline nationally. Absolute numbers for these metrics remain very high, but the trends are good. covidtracking.com/analysis-updat…
Regional outbreaks have moved at different speeds through the fall and winter, and some are still in the early stages of easing. In the Midwest, case numbers have returned to levels we last saw in Sept and Oct.
Since January 1, COVID-19 hospitalizations have declined in every US region, though to widely varying degrees.
Our daily update is published. States reported 1.4 million tests, 117k cases, 91,440 currently hospitalized, and 3,685 deaths.
We have seen the 7-day average for new deaths decrease for over a week. At the same time, states are reporting an average of 3,000 people dying per day. The data is hopeful and devastating.
We continue our rolling updates to the metrics tracked in our original totalTestResults API field. We updated test metrics for Pennsylvania today, resulting in a ~28k daily increase and ~4.8 million cumulative increase in new tests. Follow our progress: covidtracking.com/about-data/tot…
Some important news about CTP: After a year of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting COVID-19 data for the United States—and months of preparation for what we’re about to announce—we’re ending our data compilation work on March 7. covidtracking.com/analysis-updat…
We didn’t come to this decision easily, but we have believed from the very beginning of the project that the work of compiling, publishing, and analyzing COVID-19 data for the US properly belongs to federal public health agencies.
The CDC and HHS are now publishing data that is much more comparable to the figures we have been compiling from states since last spring. Gaps and inconsistencies remain, and we will continue to analyze federal data and document what we find through the end of May.
Our daily update is published. States reported 1.7M tests, 118k cases, 95,013 people currently hospitalized with COVID-19, and 2,055 deaths.
January saw the most deaths of any month so far at 95,211, nearly 20k more than in December. On average, more people were hospitalized than in any other month.
At the same time, the 7-day average number of new cases is more than 40k fewer than at the beginning of the month and more than 100k fewer than at their peak on January 12. The number of people currently hospitalized is more than 37k fewer than at its mid-month peak.
