Local COVID-19 updates
Dec. 24th, 2021 05:49 pm( Wall-o-text, with ten thousand plus new cases )
Well, at least the day-over-day counts of newly reported confirmed deaths and current hospitalizations are down. On the other hand, newly reported confirmed cases set a new record for the third day in a row, breaking the ten-thousand-case milestone and coming in at a total of 10,040 cases. The seven-day cases average continues to skyrocket; at 5,386. it's less than a thousand cases per day below the highest observed value. And the seven-day percent-positive average is up again, now over eight percent for the first time since early January at 8.32%.
There's nothing on the state's website to indicate whether or not they'll treat Monday as an observed holiday, so I don't know if there will be any reporting then. Looking at the current trends, though, the next report (whenever it comes out) is quite likely to break both the one-million-confirmed-cases mark and set a new highest observed value for the seven-day average case count.
Guess the Omicron wave is really here. Merry Christmas?
