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 (11/27), in Virginia we’re at 230,444 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), 14,451 hospitalizations and 4,044 deaths from COVID-19. The number of reported cases went up 1,544 (+0.7%) in the latest statistics, which is a lower rate of increase than the day before, when reported cases were up 2,600 (+1.2%). As for hospitalizations, they went up 34 (+0.2%), which is a lower rate of increase than the day before, when hospitalizations were up 105 (+0.7%). Deaths are reported +15, compared to +21 the previous day. The number of PCR-ONLY test results is currently at 3,269,710 (up 32,817 from yesterday; note that VDH did something weird last Friday with their total test #s, showing them up 183,605 in one day, which makes little/no sense…so, I’m not posting the total tests numbers or graphic).
