The COVID Report with David Blake: Summary for the weekend

Friday, Sept. 11

Hope everyone had a good week at school. Here are the trends in cases in Richmond plus Columbia counties together.

These are epidemic curves, so the most recent 10 days are mostly yet to be reported, but the trends look very good, except for the shift toward a larger percentage of cases being higher in age in the last two weeks.

That is an indication we are testing more poorly. It is a subtle shift for now, but worth attending, because it is the most important indicator we have after cases per capita. It appears to be coming at the expense of the 25-64 age group (testing less in those groups).
