COVID-19 BIDEN+216 (AUG. 24)

Deaths 7-day daily average rose sharply from 1,057 in the 8/23 iteration to 1,116 in the 8/24. Hospitalizations averaged 92,853 Aug. 16-22 up 1,800 from 91,029 Aug. 15-21, the most recent iterations of this metric. 

I extend the daily cases averages over four iterations to show that they have been essentially flat: Cases were 151,441 Aug. 18-24, 150,625, August 17-23, 149,675 Aug. 16-22, and 150,138 Aug. 15-21. That is good news as hospitalizations follow cases and deaths hospitalizations. The data, numerically and graphically represented, covers ten days and one can see a a slightly rising plateau forming, a structure we have never seen created by the data since Delta's dawn in the U.S. on July 9.

All eyes will now be on CDC's revised forecast through the week of Sept. 22 which will be published at 8 pm today, Aug. 25.
