Post #1493: W&M COVID uptick continues

Posted on April 27, 2022

 

Source:  Calculated from the W&M COVID-19 dashboard, and Commonwealth of Virginia counts of COVID-19 cases by age group.

This is just a quick post to note that William and Mary is still seeing about five newly-reported COVID-19 cases per day.   That rate has been roughly steady for the past couple of weeks.  On a per-capita basis, that’s well above the officially-reported rate for the 18-24 age group for Virginia as a whole.

I guess I’ll track this through graduation, as I will be in Williamsburg for that, and I’d like to have some estimate of the risks (or lack thereof) before attending any indoor ceremonies.

My guess is, I’ll be so thrilled to see my daughter graduate, I’m not going to pass on any events, COVID or not.  But I’m still going to calculate the odds of exposure.
