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 (10/10), in Virginia we’re at 157,905 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), 11,501 hospitalizations and 3,354 deaths from COVID-19. The number of reported cases went up 1,256 (+0.8%) in the latest statistics, which is a slightly faster rate of increase than the day before, when reported cases were up 1,114 (+0.7%). The number of TOTAL test results was 2,410,672 (up 20,278 from yesterday); note that, according to researchers at Harvard, we need 22,422 test results/day for mitigation, 81,741/day for suppression). As for hospitalizations, they went up 54 (+0.5%), which is the same rate of increase than the day before, when hospitalizations were up 54 (+0.5%). Deaths are reported +10, compared to +25 the previous day.
