So, at this point (2/15), in Virginia we’re at 551,538 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), 22,944 hospitalizations and 7,016 deaths from COVID-19. The number of reported cases went up 1,539 (+0.3%) in the latest statistics, which is a slower rate of increase than the day before, when reported cases were up 2,575 (+0.5%).
