Changes from May 8 through May 21
Here that? Covid just went "omph."
-38% Cases. Two points better.
-22% Hospitalizations. One point better.
-14% Deaths. Same. Covid Death is courageous.
Daily averages May 15 through May 21
27,190 Cases. Down. Man, +'s and -'s that is down 1800/day. Pause: We stand at 48% of total pop having gotten at least one shot. 40% is the level SF health officials said they saw Covid reeling. Are we not seeing that nationally as well? We are. Look back at the president's grades over the last two weeks. They've been up. He's had five A's, six B's, two C's and one D, Unpause.
30,763 Hospitalizations. Down 830/day.
589 Deaths. Down 6/day.
1.91% D-H rate.UP. Tenacious, Covid Death, tenacious.
1,879,526 Vax. Up. Up 51k, which on a base of 1.828M, is up by a squeaker. Give POJO credit (I think; I hope). The vax numbers have been near 2M each of the last seven iterations of this metric. I hope the quality control makes them legit, and not like Mao's pumpkins.
Herd Immunity Day
Interested in a little futures "investment"? Predict for me: backward or forward. I guess since I'm the one who suggested it I ought to go. I do NOT have an abiding conviction here, but I will lay a peso on forward.
DAMN I'm good! October 28, a fourteen day improvement. Pure guess on my part. I don't know what moves this thing.
President Biden Grade A. Make it six A's, six B's, two C's, and one D in the last 15 days. Pretty damn good.
