the positivity rate hovers between 9% and 11% so we're about even with Erie County. It has been like that for about a month.

I check my own county dashboard daily. It includes other data, like the number of deaths and hospitalized people, the percent of infections by vaccinated vs. unvaccinated, and the age brackets of infections and of deaths. A third of new infections now are in people under 20. The deaths have been low considering the high infection rate. Deaths are highest in people over 50, especially those over 80.

The dashboard announced yesterday that it is switching from daily to weekly reporting.
