We keep track of #COVID19 deaths in our viewing area. Yesterday was the first day in 3 weeks that we had no new local deaths to report.
On Monday, Hamilton County reported ( http://health.hamiltontn.org/AllServices/Coronavirus(COVID-19).aspx)">https://health.hamiltontn.org/AllServic... 35 patients in ICU – the highest number yet.

The 7-day average is now 30, also the highest yet.

ICU patients represents the group most threatened with death.
On the other hand: New cases in Hamilton County have fallen sharply, according to the latest numbers.
Our 7 day average is down to 70, from a high 3 weeks ago of 120.

Hamilton County& #39;s mask mandate has now been in effect for a little more than two weeks: https://bit.ly/3ft7pCO ">https://bit.ly/3ft7pCO&q...
& finally, the Hamilton County hospitalization numbers remain flat. This number could go down, given the decline in new cases we shared above.
