Feb 9th COVID Update: Weekly Deaths 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Due to changes at the CDC, weekly cases are no longer updated.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 4 weeks ago for "now", since the most recent three weeks will be revised significantly.
Hospitalizations have almost quadrupled from a low of 5,150 in June 2023, however, they have declined from around 30,000 in early 2024.

Weekly deaths have more than quadrupled from a low of 485 in early July. Still weekly deaths are far below the weekly peak of 26,000 in January 2021. Weekly deaths will likely decline soon.
