Oct 6th COVID Update: Deaths and Hospitalizations Increased
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Due to changes at the CDC, weekly cases are no longer updated.
For deaths, I'm currently using 3 weeks ago for "now", since the most recent two weeks will be revised significantly.
Recently hospitalizations have tripled from a low of 5,150 in June 2023. Hospitalizations had been increasing (down this week) but are far below the peak of 150,000 in January 2022.
