Day-to-day deaths are way up; however, based on the note posted yesterday, the 28 newly reported deaths cover four days of data, and thus average out to only a slight increase over yesterday's six. Cases are down (both in raw numbers, and compared to the average); in fact, today's 1,713 newly reported cases are the lowest single-day count since the 1,712 reported on April 12. Hospitalizations ticked up compared to yesterday, which isn't good news. The seven-day averages are a mixed bag as well, with cases and hospitalizations both down but deaths and percent-positive both up. Still, the seven-day averages are better today than last week and the week before. (Compared to last year at this time, of course, pretty much everything stinks horribly.)
