Day-to-day deaths and cases both down by a lot - great news, right? Yes and no; remember yesterday's report of 43 deaths and 2,912 cases covered two days worth of (weekend) data. The 12 deaths compare nicely to the 21.5 deaths that represent half of yesterday's number; the 1,566 newly reported cases are more than the 1,456 cases that represent half of yesterday's, which is not good.

The day-over-day drop in the seven-day case average is good news; the jump in the seven-day percent-positive rate is not, and neither is the uptick in the seven-day hospitalization average.
The comparisons to two weeks ago remain bad, as the seven-day averages for cases, hospitalizations and percent-positive are all well above where they were two weeks ago; the averages for cases and percent-positive are also higher than they were four weeks ago. Overall, not good news.
