And for the worse. Cases up more, Hospitalizations down less. Thankfully, Deaths are still a robust -31%
Look at the cases 7-day line--noticeably, sharply up. President Biden is losing his hold on this thing and frantically vaccinating is not going to regain his grip. We, the states, have opened too soon, we have relaxed with the masks too much.
7-day daily averages (March 19-25 unless indicated)
58,617 Cases. Up.
39,622 Hospitalizations. Down. Down three. Lol.
1,019 Deaths. Down.
2.57% Deaths-Hospitalizations. Down.
2,624,410 Vax. Up.
Daily numbers (March 25 unless indicated)
69,559 Cases. Down (?) Yes, down. Down by 10k, as a matter of fact. That makes no sense. Tuesday through Saturday is the full reporting week, allegedly. No Sunday-Monday weekend reporting lag. Be that as it may, these numbers are not organic. The number of Cases didn't rise 23k Wednesday and fall 10k Thursday on their own.some.
40,568 Hospitalizations. UP.
1,270 Deaths. Down. As with Cases so with Deaths: 56% more people were reported dead of COVID on March 24th than on the 23rd? Wednesday just a good day to die? And then on Thursday 20% fewer people decide to die? No. Those numbers are not real.
3,379,393 Vax. Up.
Things are worse, but the daily numbers, and hence one-seventh of the week's average daily, skew things more poorly than they are. Off March 24th's daily Deaths I termed the current situation a "catastrophe." It is not. I want to kill the reporters is who I want dead. The daily numbers are, for reasons unknown to me, wrong. The only reliable figures are the 14-day changes, they are bad, but aside from Cases, not bad bad.
