How does that help at lunchtime again?

Well, there will be a whole hell of a lot less coronavirus going around in the first place.

312 new cases just reported for the weekend period. Hospitalization heading up.

eh, hospitalizations in DC look pretty flat since May. And the percent of hospital beds occupied by covid patients looks flat for the past two weeks (at around 1.2%).

And rate of transmission is dropping fast. Plus the test-positivity rate looks stable for at least the past two weeks.

My understanding for delta would be that we'd see rate of transmission go up, and that the test-positivity would also rise.

Well f**k.
How did we go from 8 to 24 covid patients in the ICU in 1 reporting day? And it hadn't been above 20 since May.

That was from DC’s downloadable data today, which shows an increase of +81 hospitalized over the weekend. Almost seems too high to be true, so maybe it’s a typo?

Either way, schools are going to need some solid mitigation plans with case rates increasing like this. Hopefully it burns itself out by October.

The data is marked as "July 30" (friday). Is it actually July 30, Aug 1, Aug 2?

Where are you seeing this? On the 30th there were 12. July 25th there were 25. https://coronavirus.dc.gov/page/hospital-status-data

https://coronavirus.dc.gov/data "download a copy of the data" then line 15 of the excel file "Total COVID-19 Patients in ICU"

I'm wrong on my July 25th stat, but also I don't understand where you are seeing your numbers.

You're welcome (But please believe I haven't before wished so hard I was wrong and another poster was right).

Nevermind this. I wanted to write "30, 31, 1", but also I see in the press release quote on the non-press Popville that it's 3 days of data.

I don't get it.

Here: https://coronavirus.dc.gov/page/hospital-status-data the ICU beds for July 30 is 12.

But in the downloaded spreadsheet the ICU beds for July 30 is 24.

You're saying 24 is the sum of three days? So like an average of 8 each day?

yes - it's remarkable actually. hospitalizations, deaths, and ventilator use remain flat. I expect they will tick up somewhat over the past few weeks, but I think DC has ... actually done a really good job of vaccinating the most vulnerable (ward 7 & at at 65% vaccinated over 65 - not great but solid.) That said, with 30% of the population in Wards 7 and 8 high risk and unvaccinated, I do expect we will see some impact.

Except for the +81 and ICU beds mentioned by the other posts. Plus we are just starting to deal with delta.

It looks to be the number of ICU beds occupied by covid patients at the last count (Fri? Sat? Sun?), so 24. It had crept up slowly from 4 to 8 from July 20th through 29th.
