See below for graphics of the newly posted COVID-19 numbers by the Virginia Department of Health and the Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association. So, at this point (6/14), in Virginia we’re at 54,506 total reported – confirmed plus probable – cases (note that actual cases, as well as deaths, could be higher, maybe even a LOT higher, based on stories like this one in the NY Times), 5,536 hospitalizations and 1,546 deaths from COVID-19. The number of reported cases went up 637 (+1.2%) in the latest statistics, which is the same rate of increase than the day before, when reported cases were up 658 (+1.2%). The number of TOTAL test results was 519,782 (up 10,396 from 509,386 yesterday), while the number of “PCR Only” tests was 466,597 (up 8,974 from 457,623 yesterday). These testing numbers are slightly above 10,000 per day (a number Gov. Northam has repeatedly stated as an important goal), but still far below the 16,664 per day that Harvard’s Global Health Institute estimates we need to reopen safely and contain the virus. As for hospitalizations, they went up 25 (+0.5%), from 5,511 to 5,536, which is a slower rate of increase than the day before, when hospitalizations were up 66 (+1.2%), and the slowest rate of day-to-day increase since the pandemic began. Deaths are reported up 5 (from 1,541 to 1,546), compared to an increase of 7 (from 1,534 to 1,541) the previous day.
