Note: Mortgage rates are from MortgageNewsDaily.com and are for top tier scenarios.
Due to changes at the CDC, weekly cases are no longer updated.
After the first few weeks, the pandemic low for weekly deaths had been the week of July 7, 2021, at 1,690 deaths (until recently).
For COVID hospitalizations, the previous low was 9,821 (until recently).

This graph shows the weekly (columns) number of deaths reported.
For deaths, I'm currently using 3 weeks ago for "now", since the most recent two weeks will be revised significantly.
On Hospitalizations (table data above is from last week):
"COVID-19 hospitalization data will not be updated during the week of June 19, 2023, due to a change in required reporting cadence from daily to weekly, following the expiration of the federal Public Health Emergency (PHE) declaration. COVID-19 hospitalization data will be updated each Monday beginning June 26, 2023."
