Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 1,585, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 22, the 7 day hospitalization average was 936, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 3.3% (or 4.86% excluding higher education).
Bad news is ... bad. Day-to-day deaths up, cases up, positivity up, active cases up. Long term trends going the wrong way, and no action by the state to address them. At least we didn't set any records today...
