Covid by Dave

Mass Covid 19 update. Bit of backsliding today. Cases jumped up to 1,472, which is the highest it's been in ten days, and they did only slightly more tests than yesterday, 61,407 to be exact, so the Positive Test Rate jumped back up to 2.4%. Deaths jumped up a bit too, to seven. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,559,539 Total Confirmed Deaths: 18,996 Some backsliding in the hospitals. Eleven more people went into the hospital and three more went into the ICU. That brings those numbers up to 221 and 32, respectively.

Mass Covid 19 update. Mixed news today, but deaths were very low. Cases ticked up, to 1,252, but that's partially because they did more than 20,000 more tests today compared to yesterday, 57,820 to be exact. That caused the Positive Test Rate to dip a little to 2.2% Deaths were very low, as I said, coming in at only ONE. This is a good thing. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,558,067 Total Confirmed Deaths: 18,989 Mixed news in the hospitals. Five people got out of the hospital but seven went into the ICU. That brings those numbers to 210 and 29, respectively.

Mass Covid 19 update. Deaths jumped up today, but the ICU number went down by a bit, so overall it was mixed news. Cases came in at 882, which is about the same as the weekend numbers. They only did 36,818 tests, so the Positive Test Rate jumped up to 2.4%, which is the second highest it's been since the beginning of the month. Deaths jumped up quite a bit, to sixteen, which is the highest number since the 15th. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,556,815 Total Confirmed Deaths: 18,988 Good news out of the hospitals. Seven people got out of the hospital and twelve got out of the ICU. That brings those numbers down to 215 and 22, respectively. It's very good that there are only 22 people in the ICU right now. We had 484 in the middle of January.

Mass Covid 19 update. Pretty good news over the weekend. Cases came in at 2,430, which is 810 per day, lower than it has been. They only did 109,636 tests, (only 36,545 per day) so the Positive Test Rate jumped up to 2.2%. Deaths were very low, at only three for the whole weekend, or one a day. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,555,933 Total Confirmed Deaths: 18,972 Not much change in the hospitals. Nobody went in or out of the hospital over the weekend, and two went into the ICU. That brings those numbers to 222 and 34, respectively.

Mass Covid 19 update. About the same as yesterday, but the hospitals are improving. Cases came in at 1,109, which is about the same as the last two days, but they did slightly more tests today, 60,516 to be exact, so the Positive Test Rate dropped down to 1.8%. Deaths ticked up a bit, to nine. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,553,503 Total Confirmed Deaths: 18,969 Things improved in the hospitals. Twelve people got out of the hospital today, and seven got out of the ICU. That brings those numbers down to 222 and 32, respectively.

That brings those numbers to 234 and 39, respectively.

Mass Covid 19 update. Cases jumped up a bit, to 1,074, which is the first time it's been over a thousand for twenty days. They did more than double the number of tests compared to yesterday though, 64,291 to be exact, to the Positive Test Rate dropped back down to 1.7%. Deaths almost vanished, coming in at ONE. That's a good thing. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,551,308 Total Confirmed Deaths: 18,955 Bit of a turnaround in the hospitals, which is good. Six people got out of the hospital today and three got out of the ICU. That brings those numbers down to 231 and 39, respectively.

Total Confirmed Cases: 1,550,234 Total Confirmed Deaths: 18,954 Bit of a hiccup in the hospital numbers. Twenty more people went into the hospital and ten more went into the ICU.

Mass Covid 19 update. Cases were pretty low over the weekend, coming in at 1,693, which works out to 564 per day. They only did 96,520 test over the weekend (32,173 per day), so the Positive Test Rate jumped up to 1.8%. Deaths were very low, coming in at seven for the weekend, or just over two a day. This is very good. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,549,461 Total Confirmed Deaths: 18,939 Things got better in the hospitals. Fourteen people got out of the hospital and six got out of the ICU. That brings those numbers down to 217 and 32, respectively.

Mass Covid 19 update. Cases dropped a little today, to 813, and they did fewer tests again today so the Positive Test Rate came in at 1.6%. Deaths dropped to their lowest number (6) since November 8th, and that was the only other day they've dropped as low as six going back to August 30th. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,547,768 Total Confirmed Deaths: 18,932 Bit of a regression in the hospitals today. Three more people went into the hospital and nine more went into the ICU. That brings those numbers up to 231 and 38, respectively.

Mass Covid 19 update. Cases ticked up today, to 899, and they did four thousand fewer tests than yesterday, 54,409 to be exact, so the Positive Test Rate spiked up to 1.7%. Deaths stayed moderate, at ten. The last five days we've averaged thirteen deaths a day, whereas the eighteen days before that we were averaging 47 deaths a day. So at least that's an improvement. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,546,955 Total Confirmed Deaths: 18,926 Not much change in the hospitals today. One person got out of the hospital and two got out of the ICU. That brings those numbers down to 228 and 29, respectively. We haven't had fewer than thirty people in the ICU since July 23rd. The hospitalization crisis we were clearly in with 3,223 people in the hospital and 484 in the ICU was just two months ago. Things have improved dramatically over the past two months, and we should all be grateful for that.

Mass Covid 19 update. Not too bad today. Cases ticked up, to 725, but they did more than double the number of tests compared to yesterday so the Positive Test Rate dropped all the way down to 1.2%. That's the second lowest it's been in nine months. Deaths continued to be moderate, at fourteen. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,546,056 Total Confirmed Deaths: 18,916 They finally adjusted the deaths total, dropping it down by more than four thousand. People died, but not from Covid, apparently. Not much change in the hospitals. Two more people went into the hospital and there was no change in the ICU. That brings those numbers to 229 and 31, respectively.

Mass Covid 19 update. Not too bad today. Cases came in at 502, which is nice and low. They only did 27,948 tests, which is the lowest number in a long while, so the Positive Test Rate ticked up to 1.8%. Deaths remained moderate, at sixteen. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,545,331 Total Confirmed Deaths: 23,015 We passed the 23,000 mark for deaths today, but like I was saying earlier that number will be revised downward soon. Hospitalizations continue to improve. Nine people got out of the hospital today and nine got out of the ICU as well. That brings those numbers down to 227 and 31, respectively.

Mass Covid 19 update. Things were pretty good over the weekend. Cases came in at 1,520, which is only like 500 per day, which is a continuation of the ongoing dropping that's going on. The previous week's average was 650 cases a day. Deaths came in very low, at nine total for the weekend, or about three a day. Hope that stays like that for a while. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,544,829 Total Confirmed Deaths: 22,999 We're just about to hit 23,000 deaths but apparently about 4,000 deaths that have been attributed to Covid are going to be de-attributed in the next couple weeks. I'll keep up with the official number and keep you all informed as I learn more. Hospitalizations keep going down. Twenty three more people got out of the hospital, although one more did go into the ICU. That brings those numbers to 236 and 38, respectively.

Mass Covid 19 update. Pretty good news today, with low cases and deaths. Cases dropped down to 677, and they did 48,750 tests, so the Positive Test Rate dropped down to 1.4%. Deaths were also very low, relatively, at fourteen. We've only had one day lower than that since November 19th. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,543,309 Total Confirmed Deaths: 22,990 Progress resumed in the hospitals today. Thirty one people got out of the hospital today and three got out of the ICU. That brings those numbers down to 259 and 37, respectively.

Mass Covid 19 update. Well it's been a long slog doing these reports, and this is the SIX HUNDREDTH REPORT that I've done in the past two years. Yikes. Seems like forever. Hope this fucking pandemic ends soon. A little bit of backsliding but not too terrible. Cases came in at 802, which is a slight uptick from yesterday, and they did a lot fewer tests, 54,053 to be exact, so the Positive Test Rate jumped up to 1.5%. Deaths remained moderate, at twenty two. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,542,632 Total Confirmed Deaths: 22,976 Ten more people went INTO the hospital today, which is a reversal of previous trends, but six got out of the ICU, which is good. That brings those numbers to 290 and 40, respectively. Things have definitely improved since the middle of January, when we had almost 500 people in the ICU. Glad that's over.
