Headline: Still no sign of any substantive growth in cases. Nearing 1100 a day. Patient count up again. Positivity holds steady

CASES

7-day holding relatively flat

SLIGHT uptick today, but mostly stagnant
POSITIVITY

(Not seen here in graph, but we did have a ONE-Day of over 7%... but testing numbers are low due to weekend data... so not a big deal as of now)

remaining just below 6% in 7-day
What's it all mean?

No news is (relatively) good news.

Ideally we'll be looking back to this time two weeks from now... and saying this was the peak.

Would like to see numbers start to drop before we can say that tho

As always. Take care! Have a good evening!

QUICK THREAD

So... @uchealth is doing a good job of reporting day-in-the-life data of what it's seeing in its hospitals

Here is where you can find the data

(this is what I hope @CDPHE will soon start to do as well... easy to read, easy to understand)

uchealth.org/today/covid-19…
These numbers represent UCHealth facilities ONLY

Looks like this latest wave will soon be 2nd biggest.

(these numbers are from late last week)
I love this graphic (not the content of it, obviously, but how it's presented)

Basics:
Vaccinated make up...
17% of hospitalized
14% of ICU cases
13% of vents

Quick aside

Scott Bookman has a cow over his shoulder.

I say this for no other reason than I need a cow looking over my shoulder too .

MONDAY #covid19Colorado update

Headline: Cases continue to remain relatively stagnant. Pretty big jump in hospitalizations tho

HOSPITALIZATIONS
covid+ ONLY

Today: 566 (up 47*)
Last week: 478

(* weekend numbers can get a bit funky)

CASES

Have been somewhat stagnant for around a week

No evidence of exponential growth (good news).

Been hovering around 1K new cases a day for some time now. Still looking for good sign that we've hit peak
What's it all mean?

Good to see stagnation in cases. Lots of states still growing pretty fast.

Patient count jump is a bit concerning. Let's see if it eases tomorrow.

Bottom line: Things could be worse. I'll take this for now

Take care!

QUICK THREAD ON MASKING IN SCHOOLS

So, we all know. This is a HUGE deal that brings out all sorts of emotions from all sorts of people.

But there's some context I feel is critical to understanding the issue.

Allow me to explain.
#COVID19Colorado

1/
Let's start with @CDPHE guidance issued earlier this month.

Go to the section about QUARANTINE for routine classroom exposures.

You might remember last school year and all of the quarantines that made keeping schools open CHALLENGING

2/
covid19.colorado.gov/practical-guid…
There's a BIG difference between last school year and this one.

Vaccines.

Kids 12+ have had months to get vaccinated.

But kids under 12 still don't have access.

This largely impacts K-6th grade

TUESDAY #COVID19Colorado update

Headline: Definite slowdown in CASE increase. Peak? Not sure yet. But we aren't rising fast at all anymore. Patient count, OTOH, nears 500.

HOSPITALIZATIONS
covid+ ONLY

Today: 494 (+16)
Last week: 383

CASES

Look at this... Case count has totally leveled off in last few days.

(Yes, I know, cases ain't a great metric... but it's still a metric we should watch)
Look closer... Leveling off easier to see.

QUICK #COVID19Colorado Thread

It's early -- and, of course, things could change -- but Colorado showing signs of potentially hitting latest wave peak

Look at cases. Numbers have stabilized over the last 5 days.

Generally right around 900 cases

No significant growth.
Denver...

Just showing very recent stabilization. This is SUPER early. And I wouldn't recommend drawing too many conclusions here.
Hospitalizations are still headed up

Gone from 291 to 478 in 2 weeks

(this metric lags... so even if cases have peaked, we won't see it here for a bit.. .also... there are an unknown # of out-of-state patients here now)

@COHospitalAssn: Do you have any current number on this?
