January 12th COVID Update: COVID in Wastewater Increasing
Note: Mortgage rates are from MortgageNewsDaily.com and are for top tier scenarios.
For deaths, I'm currently using 4 weeks ago for "now", since the most recent three weeks will be revised significantly.
Note: "Effective May 1, 2024, hospitals are no longer required to report COVID-19 hospital admissions, hospital capacity, or hospital occupancy data." So I'm no longer tracking hospitalizations.

This graph shows the weekly (columns) number of deaths reported for the last 2 years.
Although weekly deaths met the original goal to stop posting, I'm continuing to post now that deaths are above the goal again - and at a minimum, I'll continue to post through the Winter.
Weekly deaths have mostly been declining, however weekly deaths are still above the low of 313 in early June 2024.
Natinally COVID in wastewater is "HIGH" according to the CDC - especially in the Midwest where it is "Very High" - and more than triple the lows of last May - and increasing. Something to watch.
