One month ago the rolling 7 day average was 1319. Today it’s 1321.

Yes.

And compare it with the case count.

Love that decoupling! Yay Omicron!

[LuFins Dad]

Almost as good, there were 14.5K patients in ICU beds, today there are 19K…

[jon-nyc]

Another decoupling. Again, Yay Omicron!

No shit: to the extent that you could even plan this out, I am strongly thinking about trying to get infected with Omicron just to half-ass my way into boosting my immunity.

Would be a reasonable strategy if you could pick your variant.

1. Find someone you know who has Omicron.
2. Hang out.

As far as cases, we set our one-day record this week, with over 14,000. Will be interesting to track the death average over the next couple of weeks.

"Currently, about 20% of ICU beds are available, which is similar to during the worst of last winter's surge.

However, there are fewer total patients in the ICU than last winter. And that may be the better indictor, since capacity can scale up to meet demand to some extent."

I spent Thursday with my son-in-law and had dinner at his house last night.

He tested positive this AM. He'll be fine, young, strong fire fighter.

CDC says, since I was boosted, no need to quarantine, but I should wear a mask for 10 days and test 5 days after exposure.
