Today’s raw reported metrics:
- Tests: 1,211,012 (-206,007)
- Cases: 45,265 (-8,679)
- Deaths: 362 (-61)
- Currently Hospitalized: 35,414 (-184)
- Currently in ICU: 7,346 (-84)
(+/- compared to same day last week for Tests/Cases/Deaths & yesterday for Hosp/ICU)
Drops across all metrics, and we hit another new low positive testing percentage again today. Average daily cases have dropped week-over-week by double-digit percentages for the past 13 days straight. Hopefully that trend continues.
I’m also hoping we finally start to see some real downward movement in reported deaths this week, but we’re at the mercy of states continuing to report much older deaths (still seeing more-than-negligible numbers of 2020 deaths coming out in current reporting).

Here is the link to the CDC model the story references.
The model used "data available through March 27, 2021" to forecast cases, hospitalizations, and deaths varying vaccination (low/high) and NPI (low/moderate). cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
B117 has comprised more than 50% of our cases for likely more than a month now. The CDC has it at ~60% as of 4/10. Here's the link: covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…

Mostly “meh” day. Hospitalizations got the standard Tuesday bump, and a little more than last week. Reported deaths jumped, which brought us back to 700 on the 7-day average. But cases keep melting, and we again hit a new pandemic low positive testing percentage.

California reported another large death number today. CA was +70 compared to last Sunday, while the rest of the nation -51. We’re just hanging out in the high 600s lately, and I’m ready for states to clear the old data and see that number start to fall.

Raw metric changes today were pretty flat. Decreases in reported cases/percent positive. Increases in reported deaths and hospitalizations/ICUs. One nice piece of news: Michigan’s hospitalizations dropped today for the first daily decrease since 3/10.

Some big plus signs up there (and one important minus sign). Received a few non-pipeline dumps in cases today, but I’m not pulling them out of the numbers. Most are just the slinky effect in action (AL dumped from as far back as Oct, but only 1150 total cases).

I am still laughing my ass off at the Deadliest Catch + NASCAR + CMT thing. Her sincerity is what got me the most. I thought it was kind of endearing—had to check the notes for a bit to be like, “Are these the right names for these things?”
