These new COVID-19 numbers from the VA Dept. of Health don’t look particularly encouraging. In short, these numbers represent an increase of 101 cases (35%) from yesterday’s 290 cases; an increase of 14 hospitalizations (31%) from yesterday’s 45 hospitalizations; and an increase of 3 deaths (33%) from yesterday’s 6 deaths. Also note that yesterday, there were 36 new COVID-19 cases reported, while today there were 101 new cases reported. Ugh.
