60,986 newly reported confirmed cases? That's an attention-grabbing headline case count, and far and away the highest case count reported ever by the state, smashing the previous record (set all of a week ago) of 31,184.
The day-over-day death count actually is down slightly, and how awful is it that fifty-three deaths in one day is actually an improvement? Of course, tomorrow's report will cover three days, and will likely be ugly. Today's case and test counts cover three days, including the weekend; averaged over the three-day span, it's actually noticeably less than Friday's numbers. The hospitalization counts continue their inexorable march upward; today's 2,923 patient census is the highest it's been since May 13, 2020. The seven-day averages are tending mostly higher; the one exception is the percent-positive average, which dropped to a "mere" 22.39%. The deaths average keeps climbing, although not yet to any record levels. The hospitalizations average is up to levels last seen in May 2020, while the cases average (at 18,959.6) is over thirty percent higher than even Friday's reported number.
