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 (11/11), in Virginia we’re at 196,506 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), 13,273 hospitalizations and 3,741 deaths from COVID-19. As for hospitalizations, they went up 90 (+0.7%), which is a faster rate of increase than the day before, when hospitalizations were up 67 (+0.5%).

The number of reported cases went up 1,594 (+0.8%) in the latest statistics, which is a slightly faster rate of increase than the day before, when reported cases were up 1,435 (+0.7%). The number of TOTAL test results is currently at 3,073,701 TOTAL test results (up 28,585 from yesterday; note that, according to researchers at Harvard, we need 21,145 test results/day for mitigation, 81,741/day for suppression).
