8/1 Texas C19 Pos%, Case, Hosp & Fatality update:

THREAD:

#Casedemic continues. Good day for pos% & cases. Hospitalizations continue to track below 2020, and fatalities running increasingly behind 2020.

1/n
Positivity Rate:

Could be the weekend, but both positivity rates show a peak and the start of a decline. Moreso Antigen, but PCR as well. We will watch the next couple of days to see if this solidifies or if its just weekend reporting. Possible good news though.

2/n
.
8/1 Cases:

Better day. Basically the same week over week as last Sunday. So the 7DMA is flat. Still way ahead of 2020 Summer wave pace, however.

If we go by 2020, the case wave will peak in about 17 days. We watch.

3/n
.
8/1 Hospitalizations:

C19 Hosps reach 10% of all available beds. Remember that - 10%.

2021 Summer wave continues to lose ground to the 2020 Summer wave, with a flatter curve. Especially ICU beds, which are running 18% lower than last year, at same point in wave.

4/n
8/1 Fatalities Part 1:

* Primer for background info in 7/n
* 2021 Summer Wave projected fatalities are running 17% behind 2020, and actual fatalities are running 29% behind 2020.
* I will update projections again in 2 days, and will be projecting mostly downward.

5/n
.
8/1 Fatalities Part 2:

* 21 Fatalities reported. Only 5 that were + 2 weeks.
* 1st half of July not filling in that ever increasing divergence between fatalities and hospitalizations.
* This C19 summer wave is so far not nearly as lethal as 2020's summer wave.

6/n
.
Primer for background info on Fatality computations and modeling, and why I'm asserting 2021 is not as lethal as 2020...

7/n
.
8/1: Conclusion:

* Antigen pos% again has peaked, &7 PCR may have as well.

vs. the 2020 Summer Wave, 2021 Delta wave:
* Cases are higher
* Hospitalizations lower & curves flatter
* Fatalities significantly lower
* Case & Hosps peak are about 2 weeks out. Almost there.

8/end

11/21 - Domestic Passenger Traffic: Pre-Thanksgiving Edition

* Continued strengthening of traffic numbers the past month
* Within a few points of clawing all the way back
* Forecasting through the Thanksgiving Holiday

THREAD

1/n
11/21 Airlines Page 2

* Total number of passengers who have flown in the past 30 days is 96.3% of 2019. In the past 3 months its 94.6%
* You can see it in the 7DMA % vs 2019 chart, the blue line has been all over that 95% line since Labor Day
* Today's 7DMA is 97.45%

2/n Image
11/21 Airlines Page 3

* As I've stated before, comparisons between 2019 & 2022 are tricky. Because Holidays shift dates and/or days every year. 2020 was a leap year, so +2 days right there
* These 2 charts compare 1) #s as TSA reports them & 2) #s as reported historically

THREAD:

* Positive tests continue their slow rise into the mid 2K per day range
* Hospitalization leading indicators showing a very gentle uptick. Spring mini-bump may be here
* C19 Fatalities in April 2022 will be an all time low

1/n

5/11 Domestic Airline Travel Update:

* 3 Weeks since federal mask mandate was struck down
* 8 straight weeks of 2022 7DMA traffic being north of 2 million and also being between 87-91% of 2019 traffic
* Demand is north of 100% of 2019, but supply still isn't there

THREAD

5/11 Airlines Page 2

The 7 day moving avg continues in this consistent narrow band, currently sitting at 2.10 Million passengers per day the past 7 days, and at 89% of 2019 numbers.

Expect these numbers to rise significantly through Memorial Day.

2/n ImageImage
5/11 Airlines Page 3

Long term traffic numbers are strong - the 70 day Moving Avg is at an all time C19 high of 2.09M and slowly rising - basically inline with the 7 day average.

The industry is basically back to what it was pre-covid, just a little smaller.

4/10 - Texas C19 Update: Still nothing

THREAD:

* Slowly rising positivity rate plus falling testing = same number of positive tests er'e day
* Hospitalizations continue to set new all time lows
* A couple of weird numbers to explain

Let's go through it!

1/n
4/3 - Testing takes ~10 days for a date to be ~90% in.

* 2 tweets on testing today

As of 3/31:
* Up to 2.48% from 2.14% last week
* Day number 24 below the previous all time low of 2.60% set on 6/7/21
* So its slowly climbing but because fewer people are getting tested...

2/n
4/3 - Testing Part 2

* The number of total positive tests has been running right between 1100 and 1150 per day for the past 2 weeks.
* Outside of 4th of July 2021 and Winter Freeze 2021, we've never seen PCR testing this low. Nobody is getting tested right now.
