1) Cases again plummet vs last week, peak easily 8/22 2) Hospitalizations drop 178 vs yesterday! 3) 8/31 peak prediction is likely to come in as it sits right now.
* 2.8K reported today vs 11.4K last week. Like I said yesterday 11.4K wasn't happening
* 7DMA WoW rate of decline of 18%
* Comps are almost immaterial now. Cases tomorrow would need to be 22K, the wave high, for 7DMA to beat the 8/22 peak. Nope.
2/n .
8/29 Hospitalizations
* Down 178 Beds vs yesterday. Last Sun was +155
* Down 371 past 4 days
* 7DMA WoW RoG drops 1.4% to 9.0%
* Hospital intake rises on Mon & Tues so we will watch for size of increases. 8/31 peak right now likely makes
* Rest of story in the morning

8/29 - Regional Hospitalization Analysis
* As expected with the state numbers in decline the past 4 days, most of the regions in Texas are cooling off rapidly.
* 4 charts for the 4 big Metros, the Lower Rio Grande Valley/Corpus and the Panhandle
4/n .
8/29 - Rate of Growth
* Case rate of growth in the 14DMA based average at 1.1%. 7DMA in decline (2/n)
* Testing is still going nuts, but more & more of the positive tests are being reported as probables, instead of confirmed cases. Lower pos%, more asymptomatics...
5/n .
8/29 - Fatalities Part 1
* 25.2% fewer actual fatalities so far, than the 2020 Summer wave. Through Day 49. Which was 3 weeks ago. ( 2 waves 13 months apart...see 3/n)
6/n .
8/29 Fatalities Part 2:
* 120 Reported. +54 over last Sat
* 80% from the last 2 weeks
* With hospitalizations in peak, we've got 2 really tough weeks of reported fatalities coming before that peaks & cools off. In the 300+, possibly 400+ range next 2 Tue-Sat. Hang on.
* This wave has peaked
* #Seasonality
* Not Masks, social distancing, remote school, vaccines
* Texas has been nearly 100% open since February
* Analysts that were paying attention knew this wave was coming. Just didn't think it would be quite this big

* Total positivity rate as of 9/6 at 13.14%.
* Testing hits Labor Day wall, with big decline, and doubtful it comes back to same rate. 100K+ tests taken right out of the 7DMA on a single day.
* Covidestim Rt up from 0.69 to 0.74

9/14 Cases
* New Case Peak 9/14
* 17.3K Cases reported, vs 6.0K last Tues
* Case 7DMA WoW up 31%. Literally all over the place
* This should be the final peak. With Labor Day impacting testing numbers, and huge comps coming up, should not be seeing another new peak set
1) Hospitalizations with a strong decline today 2) Cases- chance of new peak tomorrow, likely last possible new peak date 3) Pos% & testing have flattened thru 1st week of Sep 4) Fatality breakdown on 46 reported
* Total positivity rate as of 9/5 at 13.41%. It has flattened out into first of Sep as of right now
* Testing new high of 1.075 Million tests per week on 9/3

2/n .
9/13 Cases
* 8.1K Cases reported, vs 2.6K last Labor
* Case 7DMA WoW down 3%
* Peak is 9/5
* If 14.7K cases tomorrow, new peak will be set. Which is nuts since Hospitalizations peaked end of August. Its a factor of massive testing and case reporting antiquity
