June 6th COVID Update: Weekly COVID Deaths at New Pandemic Low

Mortgage RatesNote: 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 since Jan 2020.

Although weekly deaths met the original goal to stop posting in June 2024 (previous pandemic low of 314 deaths), I continued to post since deaths moved above the goal again – and I’ll continue to post until weekly deaths are below the goal for a few more weeks.

And here is a graph I’m following concerning COVID in wastewater as of June 6th:

Nationally COVID in wastewater is “Low”.
