Here are the Arizona numbers for the week just ended:
Like last week, there are small increases in cases in Maricopa County and statewide. Positive tests are flat, and there is a small increase in COVID-19 hospital beds, but nothing to get too excited about as it's 4 beds across the whole state.
The other COVID-19 hospital metrics on the ASU dashboard, ER visits and ICU beds look stable too. Perhaps this is evidence that the vaccines are doing their jobs, now that half of Arizonans have have one shot, and one-fifth are fully vaccinated.
Unfortunately it was another slowing week on the vaccination front. Here is the accelerometer:
The any-shot increase fell by about 3/4 of a percent compared to last week. I don't know what is going on with the both-shots data. The JHU dashboard showed a lower number than last week (I set the change to zero since people can't be unvaccinated). I assume this is due to some kind of correction to the numbers. If so it must be a big correction since it wiped out a weekly change that has consistently been in the 2%-3% range.
