    Finally a plateau? Looks pretty similar for the past 5-6 days....

      That's what it would seem like (and I would even offer that fatalities seem to be in an outright decline). However, I also had previously believed that the region had hit a peak around 10-11 April, and that obviously turned out not to be the case.

    Yeah we all thought that too in mid April. Lets see how May treat us at the end. Thanks!

February 3-9 2022 Update

Image
This post updates COVID-19 confirmed case data for the DC Metropolitan area as of 9 February 2022 2022  (covering 3 -9 February) .  The total confirmed cases in the DC area rose by 10,528 t o  933,857   ( average daily increase of 1,504 )  from  the previous total of  923,329 . Fatalities rose  by 210 t o  9,025   ( average daily increase of 30 )  from  the previous total of  8,815 . This will be my last weekly update, although I'll continue to do the monthly update. With the apparent retreat of the omicron variant, which occurred nearly as rapidly as it took off in December, I'm not really sure what relevance the case counts have any more (if they ever did, particularly once vaccines became available). If this is, as some experts claim, approaching an endemic status, then I don't really have much rationale for watching weekly movements.

Introduction to this Blog

As confirmed COVID-19 cases grow nationally, discrepancies and gaps in reporting methods are becoming evident. Most case data are released on a state-by-state basis by the respective state departments of health. This makes multi-state regional analysis difficult. This blog will attempt to track and analyze data for counties and county-level equivalents the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, as defined by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments : District of Columbia Washington, D.C.
