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 (11/21), in Virginia we’re at 215,679 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), 14,017 hospitalizations and 3,938 deaths from COVID-19. The number of reported cases went up 2,348 (+1.1%) in the latest statistics, which is a slightly slower rate of increase than the day before, when reported cases were up 2,544 (+1.2%). As for hospitalizations, they went up 103 (+0.7%), which is the same rate of increase than the day before, when hospitalizations were up 99 (+0.7%).  Deaths are reported +26 compared to +16 the previous day. The number of PCR-ONLY test results is currently at 3,071,135  (up 35,503 from yesterday; note that VDH did something weird yesterday with their total test #s, showing them up 183,605 in one day, which makes no sense…so, got me!).
