*All data are provisional and will change. In order to rapidly report COVID-19 information to the public, data are being reported in real-time. Information is constantly being entered into an electronic system and the number of cases and deaths can change as additional information is gathered. Information for a death previously reported has changed, therefore, today’s numbers have been adjusted.
* Dr. Ezike…
We are seeing a decrease in the numbers of people hospitalized, the numbers of people in the ICU and the numbers of individuals on the ventilators associated with COVID-19. As of last night, 3914 individuals are reported to be hospitalized with COVID-19 across the state. Of those 1005 were in the ICU and 554 were on ventilators. This is the lowest number since we were capturing these numbers that we have had for COVID patients in the hospital.
Good news.

That last blurb of good news is very refreshing. Hopefully these death numbers as a lagging indicator decline as well.

How does a state like Oregon have less cases than what we have in deaths? They might be a little healthier there, and less population but I’m not buying their numbers.

Is the remdesivir helping reduce ICU and ventilator counts?
