Spiffy. Deaths were constant day-over-day, but cases and hospitalizations were both up again. Today's 1,111 newly reported cases mark the first time since May 1 that the state reported over eleven hundred new cases in a single day. The seven-day averages for cases, hospitalizations and percent-positive are also all up again, while that for deaths remained steady.
What a way to start a weekend.
