Then read what the CDC weekly report says. Pretty much sums everything up.
The TL/DR version is:
- positive tests are decreasing in 2 out of 3 laboratory settings
- Pneumonia, Influenza, and Covid (PIC) death rates are being coupled together for a death rate of 5.5%, reduced from 6.9% the week before
- overall hospitalization rates are at 107.2/100,000, with the highest being in 65 years and older (316.9/100,000) and 50-64 years at 161.7/100,000
- 0-17 years cumulative hospitalization rates are much lower than cumulative influenza rates and comparable time points during recent flu seasons
- (Big One) deaths from PIC decreased from 6.9% to 5.5% during week 27, representing the ELEVENTH consecutive week during which a declining percentage of death's due to PIC has been recorded. This may increase if there are backlogs of death certificates.
