All state corona update today

About the data Data is from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Since the The number of daily hospital admissions shows how many patients tested positive for Covid in hospitals and is one of the most reliably reported indicators of Covid’s impact on a community. Age data can show how much of the vulnerable senior population is being affected by the virus. Reported hospitalizations, deaths and other trends by county This table is sorted by places with the most Covid hospital admissions per 100,000 residents in the last seven days. County-level hospitalization data is for all hospital service areas that intersect with a county. Because data on deaths is reported slowly, the table shows data from the most recent dates with meaningful figures. Charts show a 14-day change and each is on its own scale. How trends have changed in New York The number of Covid patients in hospitals is an indicator of Covid’s ongoing impact on hospitals and I.C.U.s. Test positivity rates are reported less consistently, but can show how infections are trending. Deaths are a lagging but important ongoing indicator of the virus’s toll. The percent of deaths due to Covid provides an early indicator of death trends. Completed primary series Bivalent booster rate Booster rates 5 to 11 12 to 17 18 to 64 65+ N.Y.

By Deidre McPhillips | CNN As Covid-19 testing and other coronavirus tracking efforts peter out in the United States, wastewater surveillance has become the primary method to monitor early community spread of the virus. And there’s some evidence that close investigation of the findings could also help unravel some of the mysteries of long Covid. Genetic sequencing of wastewater samples from sewer systems across the country has uncovered dozens of unique strains of the coronavirus, with multiple mutations in unusual combinations. One possible explanation for these “cryptic lineages” is that they can be traced back to people who have been living with a chronic – and serious – Covid-19 infection for years. In a recent preprint These individuals would be shedding at least a thousand times more virus than an average patient does, said Dr. Marc Johnson, a molecular biologist at the University of Missouri and co-author of that research. Using publicly available data on wastewater monitoring, Johnson has identified 37 of these cases in the US – but says there could be many more. “The fact that someone can have this kind of infection and there’s every indication that they are still an active member of society and not just lying in the hospital – it’s just amazing,” he said. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been following these developments closely but has not been directly involved in the work, said Amy Kirby, program lead for the CDC’s National Wastewater Surv...
