Day-over-day deaths (17) way up compared to yesterday (8), and even more so when you consider that yesterday supposedly covered three days of data. Cases (1,529) are also up substantially compared to yesterday; hospitalizations are down slightly. The seven-day averages are again a mixed bag, with cases down slightly but percent-positive, hospitalizations and deaths all up. The cases, hospitalization and percent-positive averages are also all up from last Wednesday; that's not the sort of trend I like seeing.
