July 12th COVID Update: Wastewater Measure Increasing Sharply
Note: Mortgage rates are from MortgageNewsDaily.com and are for top tier scenarios.
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.
Although weekly deaths have met the original goal to stop posting, I'm going to continue to see if deaths increase again. This week was up from the pandemic low.
COVID in wastewater is increasing - especially in the West and South - and unfortunately this suggests weekly deaths will likely increase further.
