Somewhere, Something Went Terribly Wrong

I haven’t posted this in a while: Comparison of US to Italy and the EU lining up the peaks.

Bottom line: The U.S. is way, way, way, way behind reducing cases. In fact, the 7 day average of cases is rising the last few days.

The effects are yet to be seen, but I can imagine this will continue to drive consumers to stay at home and may lead to new closures.

OC Covid Data: Still Climbing

Here’s the most updated data on OC testing. Note the data for number of tests was updated for the prior week (surprised the update on testing was so large).

Left Axis: 7-day moving average of new daily cases, Hospitalizations, and ICU patients. Right Axis: Number of tests

As you can see, the number of pretty much everything is at all time highs. Cases came down a little this week.

The next question is: Will Memorial Day festivities bring a surge of cases next week?
