• • • • TODAY’S SPOTLIGHT• • • • • •

New Hampshire only had 18 more people who tested positive for COVID-19. Unfortunately, one of those was from Salem.
Only nine of the new cases came from the 18 communities that have had more than 50 cases, Only one had more than one new case; Derry had two.
Over the past week, we have averaged 19 new cases per day.
Over the past two weeks, we have averaged less than 2% positive results per day.
Over the past two weeks, we have averaged 1,348 tests per day.
The number of recovered cases has gone up by 66 since yesterday. Salem’s active case count is unchanged.
Of the 18 communities that have had more than 50 cases, all but one (Dover) have fewer active cases today than they had yesterday. Since we had 18 new cases, and 66 recovered, that is not surprising.
Although we had 4 new hospitalizations, we are down to 20 current hospitalizations, which is the lowest since we’ve had access to that data. We have averaged 28 over the last two weeks and 24 hospitalizations over the past week.
NH has lost an average of two people per day over the last week; unchanged over the past two weeks.

Somedays, I wonder if my reports are read by more than a small handful of regular readers who share their appreciation. Then occasionally, I’ll get a message from a previously unknown person.

That happened today. Part of today’s message: “I went to Convenient MD in Windham last Thursday, July 2, and I have not yet received results.” Eight days and waiting. This is inexcusable, especially with such low numbers. I hope she doesn’t have to wait as long as another person whose story I’m familiar with; they waited 14 days to get their results. Convenient MD was awarded this contract, without it being put out to bid. That, too, is inexcusable.

The weekend is upon us. I hope you have a good one … even if it rains, even if you are awaiting results of your COVID-test. Stay safe, and always, be kind.
