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 (10/14), in Virginia we’re at 161,610 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), 11,628 hospitalizations and 3,381 deaths from COVID-19. The number of reported cases went up 805 (+0.5%) in the latest statistics, which is a slower rate of increase than the day before, when reported cases were up 1,235 (+0.8%). The number of TOTAL test results was not updated this morning for whatever reason (??? 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 30 (+0.3%), which is a slightly slower rate of increase than the day before, when hospitalizations were up 45 (+0.4%). Deaths are reported +9, compared to +11 the previous day.
