-35% Deaths.
7-day daily averages
29,711 Cases. UP 111 from the previous (March 30-April 5) iteration. The second iteration in succession that Cases have increased marginally.15,223 Hospitalizations. Down 163 from yesterday's it. That's still expected. H's will rise as this ripple of increased Cases moves through.
599 Deaths. Down a minuscule 5 deaths/day from yesterday. I didn't expect such a minute decrease. I believe that that is artifact. I don't see how the death interval would be leveling Deaths to almost zero over seven days and expect that the numbers for April 7 will show a more robust decline.Deaths are closing in on the penultimate Frawntier, 525 on July 4, 2020. The Final Frawntier, 222 on July 11, 2021 before Delta's Dawn, I don't see us undercutting in this period. Cases are rising, that inevitably will result in some, even minor, increase in Deaths until, and if, we conquer BA.2.
