Mass Covid 19 update - 2/22

Mass Covid 19 update.

Well after a long slog of doing these reports where it was pretty much always a bummer, things have definitely started turning around, which pleases me to no end.

Cases came in at 4,118, which when you divide it by four days comes out to only 1,029 cases per day, which is way better than it's been over the past couple months. You got to go all the way back to August 4th to get a case number lower than that. Major improvement.

They did 185,410 tests, which kept the Positive Test Rate nice and low at 2.2%.

Deaths came in at 37, which is fewer than ten per day. You again have to go back to August to find numbers, other than single days, where the numbers were that low.

Total Confirmed Cases: 1,529,216

Total Confirmed Deaths: 22,455

Very good news in the hospitals. One hundred and forty six people got out of the hospital over the weekend, and twenty six got out of the ICU. That brings those numbers down to 573 and 113, respectively. Again you have to go back to August to find numbers that were consistently lower than that.

All in all, things are looking much better nowadays.

Mass Covid 19 update. Very good news to report today. Cases came in at 2,888 over the weekend, which works out to 963 per day, which is a lot lower than it has been. They only did 115,201 tests, or only 38,400 per day, so the Positive Test Rate ticked up to 2.5%. Deaths though, came in at ZERO, which for three days is absolutely fantastic. The last day we had zero deaths was July 13th of last year, and that was just one day. There were only four other days during this entire pandemic that we had zero deaths. I hope it becomes a trend. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,563,869 Total Confirmed Deaths: 19,006 Slight improvement in the hospitals. Eight people got out of the hospital and two got out of the ICU. That brings those numbers down to 216 and 31, respectively.
