The U.S. is now down to 37 36 new cases per 100K population per day, down from 38 at the end of last week 37 when I checked it a couple of days ago. Daily new hospitalizations have fallen below risen to just over 6000 per day. Deaths remain around 350 375 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 8/3/2022, 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
As I showed in prior posts, hospitalizations (and presumably deaths) remain concentrated among the oldest old, and hospitalizations remain disproportionately drawn from those who were never fully vaccinated.
