Due to changes at the CDC, weekly cases are no longer updated.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.

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.

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.
