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.
Although weekly deaths met the original goal to stop posting, I’m continuing to post now that deaths are above the goal again.
Weekly deaths are almost quadruple the low of 302 in early June but are now declining and will likely continue to decline based on wastewater sampling.
And here is a graph I’m following concerning COVID in wastewater as of October 10th:
This appears to be a leading indicator for COVID hospitalizations and deaths.
COVID in wastewater is declining – now about double the lows of last May – suggesting weekly deaths will continue to decline.
