Cases/d remain a useless metric, but FTR: Fri 2112. Sat 1393. Sun 1128. Positivity (a more useful leading indicator) Fri 32.02% (last Fri 36.15%) Sat 29.50 % (1st day below 30% since Jan 2nd (28.23%)) (Last Sat 32.24%) Sun 31.19% (35.47%). Slowly dropping but still v. high.2/

Tues +22 to 1566 (revised from 1554 Fri 1542 Thurs and 1492 Wed) (new pandemic record) Wed -36 to 1530 (revised from 1515 Fri and 1472 Thurs) Thurs -23 to 1507 (revised from 1466 Fri). I think wave 4 inpt #s peaked on Tues but time will tell. 4/

(all weekend numbers subject to revisions) Fri -15 to 1492, Sat -55 to 1437, Sun -13 to 1424. ICU: Thurs +8 to 121 (revised from 118 Fri) Fri +1 to 122 (new #weararespiratorwave record). Sat -6 to 116, Sun +2 to 118 (subj to revision). 5/

Paeds admits 23 but none to the ICU (yay!). Deaths 39, including 2 under the age of 50. Omicron wave death curve looking as bad or worse than the delta wave curve. 5/

demographics: urban areas continue to drop while rural areas stubbornly flat. 6/

Nothing more to add today. Stay safe all, please wear a respirator style mask. fin/
