It looks like deaths and hospitalizations are actually coming down.

Maybe. I see a steeper incline in the average high's than the decline of average lows. It's a volatile graph, and I may be interpreting it completely wrong, but those trend lines are clear enough. It's clear that it bounces back pretty hard after a down day. This weeks numbers should be interesting, but too early to indicate the effectiveness of our ordinance. And I believe the protests are reflected two weeks ago so they won't have as much impact going forward. NOTE: I don't believe they and the deaths are related though.



I don't know what to think about the hospitalization graph. The little summary I provide comes from the same source and it reads hospital utilization differently:

Hospital Utilization: COVID Hospitalizations are up about 2.6% (another all time high). ICU beds for COVID patients are up 0.5%. (Overall ICU bed usage went down from 88% to 86%). Ventilators in use for COVID dropped 2% for the 2nd day in a row.

EDIT:

Our data dashboard has been updated. Due to a reporting issue yesterday, more than half of today's newly reported cases would have been reported Monday. Today's reported new case number represents a two-day total. Please continue to take precautions. #SaferAtHome #MaskUpArizona https://t.co/oAvQzNUqCM
