So has Cali just not experienced the Delta spike yet or what?
I hope they have already peaked due to vaccine and natural immunity. Although I wouldn't be at all surprised if they see a winter spike from delta or another variant.

Austin cases and hospitalizations are going down for like a week now, if we're looking for something.

Yep. Houston also looking flat and apparently according to TMC the R0 has been less than one for several days. Will likely see a drop off and hospitalizations there soon.
Texas is so big it's almost useless talking about statewide trends. Some areas are getting absolutely hammered. Tyler/Longview RAC region is getting hammered and it is getting worse. Community spread far higher than at any other point in the pandemic. New hospitalization records seven days in a row.
The same thing happened with our peak in Texas last year (rural lagging metro areas).CDub06 said:
Interesting. I've mainly been following some of the more populated areas: Montgomery, Harris, Travis, Nueces (their R0 plummeted btw) and they're all trending in the right direction. Pending any school effect of course.
Sounds like the variant burned through the more populated areas quickly and the more rural areas are lagging behind. Pulled charts for areas around Midland, Lubbock and Smith counties and that seems to be the case. (Not around Potter, Taylor, or Tom Green surprisingly).
You need to turn on your joke or sarcasm meter for me. If not joking, what is up?Old Buffalo said:

Spreading pretty rapidly out here in East Texas. Friend went to emergency room for non covid issue in Tyler and said people were on vents in the hallways of the ER. The wife and I are school teachers in two small districts. Attendance is falling rapidly with students getting it. Several area schools have shut down.

I'm not good at making charts, but hospitalizations in Texas are down by about 800 over the last week. Peaked around 13,850, now just barely over 13,000.
Here's the other side of the "1000 people died in Florida today" coin. Deaths are not approaching 0. Florida changed the way they report to "date of death" instead of "date of report." This means that the most recent days are nowhere near accurate, going back up to ~3 weeks. https://t.co/nKmrFo6scT

Good thread explaining the Florida deaths per day plunge.

Can someone please explain the Florida death numbers to me? Is it moving to 0, or is what I see on what pops up on Google correct where it looks like a plateau?
This make deaths trackable overall (date tied to an actual death certificate), but data to lag a bit.Joe Boudain said:SwigAg11 said:

I love Florida, but they've changed the way they report. It is more accurate but lagging. They're now reporting deaths on the day the person died, but they don't know for sure a death is from covid until a little bit later
