Post #1572: COVID-19 trend to 8/17/2022, now 30 new cases per 100K per day

Posted on August 18, 2022

 

The U.S. is now down to 30 new cases per 100K population per day, down from 31 two days ago.

Daily new hospitalizations are below 6000.

Deaths are now just below 400 per day.

Data source for this and other graphs of new case counts:  Calculated from The New York Times. (2021). Coronavirus (Covid-19) Data in the United States. Retrieved 8/18/2022, from https://github.com/nytimes/covid-19-data.”  The NY Times U.S. tracking page may be found at https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-cases.html

It still doesn’t look like much of a trend.  But better down than up.
