Today we published our final weekly update. COVID-19 cases, deaths, and hospitalizations continue to decline, while tests are up 12 percent. covidtracking.com/analysis-updat…

Although holiday and storm-related reporting disruptions appear to have affected reported cases, tests, and deaths in recent weeks, the data does not currently suggest that case or death declines are reversing.

The sustained decline in cases and hospitalizations is very encouraging, but with multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2 gaining footholds in US cities, it remains vitally important to further reduce the virus’s spread via masking, social distancing, and avoiding indoor gatherings.

Our daily update is published. States reported 1.4 million tests, 67k cases, 45,462 currently hospitalized COVID-19 patients, and 2,449 deaths.

The number of people currently hospitalized with COVID-19 has dropped dramatically since the start of the year. Each day, the total drops by about 2%.

VA is still reconciling death certificates from the post holiday surge. As a result, their death count is artificially inflated. Nationally, deaths are still declining.

Our daily update is published. States reported 1.3 million tests, 54k cases, 47,352 currently hospitalized COVID-19 patients, and 1,049 deaths.

While the case and death numbers continue to show wobbles because of storm-related data problems, the hospitalization numbers have continued to march downward. The Midwest is now approaching its summertime numbers.

States use different methods for accounting for COVID-19 deaths. Virginia has used a slower technique, which has resulted in a huge spike in reported deaths now, more than a month after the cases peaked in the state. VA has reported 1454 deaths over the last 9 days.
