    I was waiting for those numbers to spike up with the protests. Looks like we dodge the bullet and masks do the job! Do you agree?

      It would appear no spikes related to the recent protests, but honestly who knows? There could be a situation, for instance, where there was indeed community transmission during the mass gatherings, but that:

      1) They haven't been tested and were asymptomatic cases
      2) The transmission occurred among people living outside of the region, and hence were tested in their home towns outside of the DC area
      3) There was indeed a modest rise, but the overall declining rates in the DC area masked that rise.

      I've got a draft of a "cases and deaths declining" analysis post that I hope to work on soon. I'll note that new cases seem to be stuck around 400/day for the past few days now.

    Yeah I see those upper 300 and mid 400s in daily cases is the tendency for the past week. Better than 1000 daily, but still high enough to makes us be extra careful out there. Wondering what the 2nd phase opening will bring us. Thanks again good info as usual.

      Appreciate the readership and your comment. I need to review the testing capacity across the region, to make sure that it hasn't declined (and hence would have been the reasons for the declining case rates). However, my intuition is that the social distancing+mask regimen worked, and that the decreased cases are the result of it.

      Yes, I used to post there before I got banned from posting there (for reasons I don't know).

End of the Road

My work on this blog is ending as of today. It appears, for better or worse, that the public is moving on from COVID-19, and it doesn't make sense to continue computing statistics for an issue of increasingly marginal public concern. Perhaps it is fitting that this is all occurring in early March, which is almost two years to the date since this all began . My initial effort was to try to do something productive with the situation, particularly as many of us felt fairly helpless. I hope at least some of my analysis was useful to you. I will not be making any more updates, revisions, etc. I will keep all of the posts and data up in perpetuity, or at least as long as Google/Blogger keeps this blog up.

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.

February 2022 Summary Statistics

Image
I will present some summary statistics which can explain the trends that we observed during the month of February 2022. This complements similar reports from   previous months . The post-peak decline of Omicron continued throughout the month. As of late February, the DC area is under 1,000 reported daily cases. This is the first time the region has been at that level since early December 2021 . Note that the apparent "spike" of infections in mid-late February was driven by single datum for 16 February (10,554 cases), which itself was driven by an unusual datum for Maryland (9,839 cases). I presume this was  backlog, and you will note that the downward trend continued. Total Case Growth Total cases on  31 January: 919,425 Total  cases  on 28 February: 959,092 Total  case  increase: 39,667 Smallest daily case increase: 343 (28 February) Largest daily case increase: 10,554  (16 February) Average daily increase: 1,417 Total Fatality Growth Total fatalities on  31 January: 8,756 T
