See below for the latest COVID-19 statistics for Virginia, courtesy of the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) and the Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association (VHHA). As you can see, total cases hit 2,011,057 (note: many people are now testing at home, so it’s very possible/likely that the case numbers are an underestimate, maybe a large one; on this note, see ‘We’re playing with fire’: US Covid cases may be 30 times higher than reported), up 2,721 since the Thursday morning report (note that there were no stats yesterday, for whatever reason) and up 26,529 over the past 10 days (waaaayyyy down from the 10-day average of 198,847 on 1/19). As for hospitalizations, according to VDH, we’re now at a cumulative 54,834, up 47 from the Thursday morning statistics (also, VHHA has hospitalizations at 796… waaaayyyy down from the peak of around 4,000 back in January, although up from their low point back in April and near the highest since late February/early March). And deaths are at 21,249, up 27 from the Thursday morning statistics.
