Since yesterday's figures covered four days of deaths, cases and tests, one might expect today's numbers to be down. However, deaths are way up compared to yesterday; in fact, today's 35 newly reported deaths are the highest reported since March 8 (which was a Tuesday report covering three days). Today's cases (1,636) are lower than yesterday's reported numbers, but much higher than those numbers averaged over the four days covered. At least the hospitalization counts are down compared to yesterday, as are the seven-day average for hospitalizations; however, the other three seven-day averages are all up.
