8/4 Texas C19 Pos%, Case, Hosp & Fatality update:

THREAD:

Virtually the same highlights as yesterday (see Q/T below). This next week we are going to see the highest case & hospitalization growth rates of the curve, before it starts to crest mid-month. Hold on tight.

1/n
.
8/4 Positivity Rate:

* Antigen pos% still in post-peak, even if flat yesterday. Will be surprised if peak doesn't hold.
* PCR still in-peak. Yesterday's revisions nudged it up, but now 6 days with virtually no growth rate.

2/n
.
8/4 Cases:

Another huge day on raw case counts, mostly driven by big testing numbers, way more testing than during last year's wave. (Hence why Positivity is only 17+%. Last year hit 20%)

15K cases reported today, way ahead of 2020. #casedemic continues.

3/n
.
8/4 Hospitalizations:

Patients tagged as C19 still in only the 11% range of total beds in the state, and continues to run behind 2020. Especially ICU. 16% fewer ICU patients this wave than 2020 Summer. As per 1/n, this week will see the highest growth rates of the wave.

4/n
8/4 Fatalities Part 1:

* Primer for background info in 7/n
* 2021 numbers through July 13. Again comparing two waves that started 13 months apart to the day.
* Continue to see 2020 Actuals outpacing 2021 Projected by a significant margin.

5/n
.
8/4 Fatalities Part 2:

* 60 reported fatalities
* Only 1 more reported than last Wednesday.
* Again, either ancient or within last 2 weeks. This has been consistent, & has forced me to consistently revise downwards.
* Virtually nothing for the 1st half of July.

6/n
.
8/4 - Primer for background info on Fatality computations and modeling, and why I'm asserting 2021 is thus far not as lethal as 2020...

7/n
.
8/4 Conclusion:

* Antigen stays in post-peak, PCR lack of growth indicates its in-peak
* vs 2020 Summer - Cases ahead, hospitalizations & fatalities behind. Same ole
* Hang on to your hats, this week is going to be the worst of it for cases & hosps before it tops out

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

2/n

* 34K tests per day is 14% of what TX was receiving at the height of Omicron

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

1/n
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.
