Jan 26th COVID Update: Weekly Deaths Increased

Mortgage RatesNote: Mortgage rates are from MortgageNewsDaily.com and are for top tier scenarios.

Due to changes at the CDC, weekly cases are no longer updated.
For deaths, I’m currently using 4 weeks ago for “now”, since the most recent three weeks will be revised significantly.
Hospitalizations have more than quadrupled from a low of 5,150 in June 2023.
Hospitalizations are less than 20% of the peak of 150,000 in January 2022.

COVID-19 Deaths per WeekClick on graph for larger image.

This graph shows the weekly (columns) number of deaths reported.

Weekly deaths have more than quadrupled from a low of 485 in early July.  Still weekly deaths are far below the weekly peak of 26,000 in January 2021.

And here is a graph I’m following on COVID in wastewater as of Jan 25th:

COVID-19 WastewaterThis appears to be a leading indicator for COVID hospitalizations and deaths.

COVID in wastewater is now off about 40% of the holiday peak at the end of December, and that suggests weekly deaths will start to decrease soon.
