Fewer deaths reported today than yesterday; however, yesterday's death data supposedly covered four days, while today's report only covers one. Under those conditions, today's 24 deaths are way up compared to yesterday's 28, which average out to seven once spread out over those four days. Cases and hospitalizations are also both up compared to yesterday. Seven-day averages for cases, hospitalizations and percent-positive are all down compared to yesterday while that for deaths is up slightly. All four of those seven-day averages are better than they were last week, though, which hopefully bodes well for the future (at least locally).

Fewer deaths reported today than yesterday; however, yesterday's death data supposedly covered four days, while today's report only covers one. Under those conditions, today's 24 deaths are way up compared to yesterday's 28, which average out to seven once spread out over those four days. Cases and hospitalizations are also both up compared to yesterday. Seven-day averages for cases, hospitalizations and percent-positive are all down compared to yesterday while that for deaths is up slightly. All four of those seven-day averages are better than they were last week, though, which hopefully bodes well for the future (at least locally).
