Oh, that’s perdy, ain’t it?...uh, you can look at that another way but what that is—you have a FILTHY mind, you do—what that really is is the near vertical drop in the 7-day Deaths average Feb. 14-16. There has been one comparable drop, Dec. 23-27.
The 7-day Deaths-to-Hospitalizations percentage dropped also, to 3.12%. Still above 46-1’s last week.
This may change as it’s the Times’ 2:12 pm update and I think there will be another at 7-8 pm BUT...
-43% Cases. Down.
-29% Hospitalizations. Down.
-29% Deaths. Down.
Deaths and Hospitalizations equal is very good and has pushed that disturbing ratio down.
7-day averages
81,200 Cases/day. Down.
69,856 Hospitalizations/day. Down.
2,183 Deaths/day. Down.
This is the second day of the full reporting week. The dailies for Feb. 16 from the Johnnies:
62,398 Cases. Down.
1,756 Deaths. UP. Way up.
The daily Deaths number is the only thing I got to bitch about today. That is a good report card.
