Due to changes at the CDC, weekly cases are no longer updated.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 quintupled from a low of 5,150 in June 2023.

Hospitalizations are about 20% of the peak of 150,000 in January 2022.
