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.
Weekly deaths have declined from the recent peak of 2,561 and are now below the previous pandemic low of 491 last July. This week was at the pandemic low.
And here is a graph I’m following concerning COVID in wastewater as of June 27th (no update this week):
This appears to be a leading indicator for COVID hospitalizations and deaths.
COVID in wastewater is increasing – especially in the West and South – and unfortunately this suggest weekly deaths will likely start increasing again.
