For the past two days, NH DHHS has shown Salem as having 283 total, cumulative cases. Today they show one less. This has been explained in the past as info learned during the contact tracing. Someone was likely reported as a Salem resident, but further investigation found out that their legal address is somewhere else.
NH infections today were 3.4% of today’s test results. Massachusetts’ positivity rate is the same.
Portsmouth had another 3 people diagnosed with COVID-19, for a total of 14 new cases amongst their residents since Monday.
Despite what you might hear on certain news channels, children are getting infections. I was asked about the age of those infected. In NH 134 kids 0-9 have been infected (2% of all cases); 312 kids aged 10-19 have been infected (4.8%). That’s 446 kids, accounting for 6.8% of all cases. None of our NH kids have died, but 9 of them have been hospitalized.
Another 1,030 young adults aged 20-29 have been infected. This age is 15.7% of all infections. 17 have been sick enough to be hospitalized, and one in this age group has died.
Of those under 30, 1,476 have been infected. (22.5% of all infections.) There’s only one death, but there are hospitalization expenses for some, as well as concerns about long-term health consequences for all.
The number of active cases is back over 400.
There are now 200 people from Manchester who have been hospitalized.
Today’s numbers for the Big Four — Global new infections and deaths, and US new infections and deaths — remain significantly more than the two-week average. (Source: WorldOmeter)
