Today being Tuesday, day-over-day comparisons get messed up by today's deaths data covering three days and yesterday's case/test data also covering three days. Thus, the raw death count (22) is up a bunch from yesterday's 13, but when averaged over three days (6.7) is down substantially. Today's case count (1,368) is down a bunch from yesterday's 4,003, but is up slightly from yesterday averaged over three days (1,334). Hospitalizations are down compared to yesterday. Three of the four three-day averages are down as well, but percent-positive is up a bit (5.92% vs 5.61% yesterday). Compared to last week, things are definitely improving - but we still saw over eleven thousand new cases over the last week, while last year at this time the state had reported less than seven hundred new cases over the previous seven days.
