The positivity rate is starting to drop. I’ve seen more people wearing masks and it’s possible that more people getting vaccinated is also factoring into the drop. Thus, while the number of tests is holding steady at about 7200 per day the number of new cases is dropping.
The hospital and ICU numbers are starting to drop from the peaks set in early January.
The number of deaths reported per week also dropped. Note the table below lists when the deaths were reported and not when they occurred. As deaths from December are still being certified and then reported it seems to make more sense to use the reported date for now. In a couple of months the numbers will have settled down enough to report on them.
If you have 137 icu beds occupied and 26 beds available how does that mean only 5.3% available? Am I missing something you have 163 beds total and 26 available means you have 16% available. I’m confused???
