Due to changes at the CDC, weekly cases are no longer updated.

For deaths, I'm currently using 3 weeks ago for "now", since the most recent two weeks will be revised significantly.

Recently hospitalizations have almost tripled from a low of 5,150 in June 2023.  Hospitalizations are far below the peak of 150,000 in January 2022.
