Orange “Covid” County

I wish I had better news, but OC Covid data is all bad. Compared to last week, the 7-day averages of:

  • New Cases per day: Up 64%
  • Hospitalizations: Up 30%
  • ICU Cases: Up 20%

Given that Hospitalizations and ICU patients lag new cases,we should have a big spike this week.

Cases Up, Recovery Down

While cases have continued to rise, the recovery in the most impacted industries as stalled. Here is updated restaurant data from OpenTable and TSA passengers.

Year over year change in Restaurants and TSA Passengers

The question is how much this will affect the economy overall. We should be able to get some idea when this week’s jobless claims data comes out.
