* Numbers through 2/15, Cases falling through 8K per day
* Hospitalization Census into the 7K range and falling fast
* Crazy high case peak, while hospitalizations were less than previous waves...
2/n
2/16 TX Severe outcomes - Page 3
Now just the hospitalization metrics on a two axis chart:
* All the hospitalization metrics in freefall
* Notice again how much smaller this ICU/vent peak is than previous Covid waves
* Fatalities are actual thru 1/11, projected thru 1/25
3/n
2/16 TX Severe - Pg 4
* Jan 12-25 = projections to dates already 80-95% reported
* Jan 26 on = TBD
* Projecting thru end of hospital peak now
* Still don't project a +275 fatality day in this wave
* Going to be significantly less fatalities this wave than previous
4/n .
2/16 TX Severe outcomes - Page 5
* Case Fatality Rate (CFR) is the rate of cases sent to the State DSHS vs Fatalities attributed to C19
* CFR differs from Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) which estimates all infection - asymptomatic, mildly symptomatic, home tests, etc
5/n
2/16 TX Severe outcomes - Page 6
* CFR on a date in this chart is determined by dividing the subsequent 7 days 7DMA of fatalities over the previous 7 days 7DMA of cases
* CFR line here is through Jan 19 & very accurate.
* CFR is projected through start of hosp peak now
6/n
2/16 TX Severe outcomes - Page 7
* CFR @ still running at 0.46% at start of hospitalization peak
* Will slowly creep back but how far up is TBD
* <1% CFR is seasonal flu territory
* Omicron doing its Omicron thing which is gently blow up Mandate Theater
7/n
2/16 TX Severe Conclusion
We're about 1 week from seeing how Fatalities peaked during this wave. The way fatality reporting works, it takes 3+ weeks for most of the Death Certificates to arrive to the state for a particular day. But we will soon confirm our assumptions.

* Cases running north of 100% of positive tests, meaning we are seeing a lot of catch up and backlog being reported
* Despite this, Case 7DMA now below 9K
* Hospitalizations, including ICU/Vents continue freefall
2/15 -Test reporting is by date of specimen collection, you have to wait ~10 days for a date to be ~90-95% in.
As of 2/5:
* Pos rate 7DMA down to 18.78% & declining a point a day
* More cases being reported than there are positive tests, starting 2/3 & next several days
2/n
2/15 - Cases are simply reported as they are received by the counties.
Case 7DMA
* now down to 8.7K
* has been down 1/3rd to 1/2 from the previous week (WoW) for 17 straight days
* The decline is slowing because reporting per 2/n and there is little room to fall now.
* This first one and the CFR Chart are the pictures of Omicron.
* A rapid rise and fall
* Cases 280% higher than the previous C19 record, but hospitalizations lower than previous waves, especially the critical care hospitalizations.

Now just the hospitalization metrics on a two axis chart:
* Omicron was more gentle while blowing up the Mandate paradigm
* C19 ICU peaked at 72% of the previous record, Vents at 52%
* Fatalities are actual thru 1/4, projected thru 1/18
* While the dam is breaking on mandates and I hope they wash away in a flood,
* Still going to monitor the collapse of Omicron throughout the state
* Good riddance, yet Thank You Omicron, and here's why...
2/9 - Test reporting is by date of specimen collection, you have to wait ~10 days for a date to be ~90-95% in.
As of 1/30:
* Positivity rate 7DMA had declined to 25% and was about to start losing a point a day, every day
* Feb testing numbers will be a straight line down
2/n .
2/9 - Cases are simply reported as they are received by the counties.
Case 7DMA
* now down to 13.8K
* has been down 1/3rd or more from the previous week (WoW) for 11 straight days
* Today down 50% WoW - a 1st in 2 years of watching (outside of winter storms or holidays)
2/7 - Test reporting is by date of specimen collection, you have to wait ~10 days for a date to be ~90-95% in.
As of 1/28:
* Huge plunge underway across testing, positivity rate & positive tests
* Upcoming incomplete days show a decline of ~1% a day in positivity rate
2/n .
2/7 - Cases are simply reported as they are received by the counties.
* Cases 7DMA re-enters somewhat normal Covid territory @ 18K
* 7DMA rate of week over week decline continues in the mid 30s %, now 9 consecutive days. Unprecedented rate of decline.
* We'll start with a view of all metrics, including Cases
* 2021 Winter Wave cases declining rapidly from their peak - 280% higher than the previous C19 record
* However, C19 hospital census peaked at only 95% of the previous record
2/n

Now just the hospitalization metrics:
* Left axis = hospital census
* Right axis = everything else
* ICU peaked at 72% of the previous record
* Vents peaked at 52% of the previous record
* Fatalities are actual thru 1/1, projected thru 1/15
2/5 - Test reporting is by date of specimen collection, you have to wait ~10 days for a date to be ~90-95% in.
As of 1/26:
* We see the start of the plunge across testing, positivity rate & positive tests
* This manifests in today's case & hospitalization numbers
2/n .
2/5 - Cases are simply reported as they are received by the counties.
* Cases 7DMA @ 21K after a huge drop week over week.
Only 12K cases reported today.
* 7DMA rate of week over week decline sets new record of 38%. Now mid 30%s for the past 7 days
