Not exactly a great birthday present, but there are some slight improvements in the day-over-day numbers, at least. While newly reported deaths held steady, cases and hospitalizations are both down from yesterday. On the other hand, the seven-day averages for cases, hospitalizations and percent-positive are all higher than yesterday, and higher than this time last week, and way, way, way higher than this time last year.
Seriously, last July 1 the state reported all of seventy-six new cases. Today the state reported 1,678. We haven't had a day with less than a thousand new cases since March 29; we haven't had a day with less than five hundred new cases since July 22, 2021 (nearly a year ago). Certainly we're doing better as far as deaths and serious illness go, thanks entirely to effective vaccines; as far as trying to reduce infections, though, it's all "Party on, Wayne! Party on, Garth!"
