COVID-19 BIDEN+106 (May 6)

Under the scoring system used here (14 points for negative 14-day changes, 7 points for each of the five 7-day averages, and one "bonus" point for one additional day's advance in HID) to calculate President Biden's grade if one of the 7-day categories, recently vaccinations, is unfavorable and HID retreats rather than advances, it is impossible to assign an "A" grade as the maximum score attainable is 89.7%, 0.3% short of 90%, an "A."

14-day changes

-27% Cases.
-13% Hospitalizations.
-4% Deaths.

Better than yesterday by one point on all three categories.

7-day daily averages

45,081 Cases. Down 1.5k/day.
39,908 Hospitalizations. Down.
693 Deaths. Down.
1.73% Deaths-Hospitalizations rate. Down.
2,087,608 Vax. Down 45k/day. Vax on the single days of May 5 and 6 have been up over May 2, 3, 4. Since this is a rolling 7-day metric it may be up if ~2M are vaccinated tomorrow, May 7. 

Herd Immunity Day

Nov. 7. Back six days from May 5.

Vax being down and HID moved back, President Biden Grade B (89.7%).
