January 25th COVID Update: COVID in Wastewater Decreasing
Note: Mortgage rates are from MortgageNewsDaily.com and are for top tier scenarios.
SPECIAL NOTE: The CDC has stopped releasing health data (hopefully temporarily).
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 since Jan 2020.
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.
Nationally COVID in wastewater is "Moderate" according to the CDC but is now declining.
