Deaths: We are happy to report no new deaths today. We have experienced a total of 444 deaths resulting in a 1.97% mortality rate (about 1 in 51) among known cases. This compares with a 1.48% mortality rate at the state level and a 1.79% mortality rate at the national level. Hospitalizations: We presently have 20 cases in the hospital. This is equal to what we reported yesterday. We have had a total of 1,256 hospitalizations resulting in a 5.58% hospitalization rate (about 1 in 18) among known cases.
