Hospitalizations down by 46

  • 3212 new cases vs 2525 prior
  • Positivity approx 15%
  • Deaths 68
  • Hospitalizations down 46 to 2302
  • ICU usage at 86%

Cases and positivity remain high but there are small signs of improvement everywhere it what looked like the state that was most out-of-control a month ago. Hospitalizations are falling slowly — and some of that is simply people dying — but they’re not being replaced with new patients.

By so many metrics, it looks like it was going to be much worse in Arizona than it’s been so far and that underscores how little we still know about the virus. It’s increasingly clear that case numbers are only catching a small portion of those who have contracted the virus.
