From 01/14/2022-01/06/2022 Appleton recorded 426 confirmed cases and 148 probable cases. Active cases dropped by 369 to 266. Cases out of isolation increased by 943 to 18,246. Deaths remained unchanged at 79.
Although the 7-day running average of new confirmed and probable cases is still markedly above where it was on this day last year, it has decreased by 49.43 points since 01/13/2022. Appleton currently has 266 active cases as compared to 715 active cases on this day last year. Last year between March 18 (the day of Appleton’s first recorded case) and January 16, Appleton recorded 55 deaths with/from coronavirus as compared to only 16 such deaths during that same timeframe this year. Last year for that timeframe, the rate of deaths per known confirmed and probable cases was 0.79% as compared to only 0.15% for the deaths per cases during that same timeframe this year.
During the Covid-19 Update to the Board of Health last week, Interim Health Officer Sonja Jensen had talked about how weekly cases had doubled compared to the week before which in turn had been double as compared to the week before that. That trend did not continue this last week. Instead we had 1,199 total confirmed cases and 692 probable cases. The week before that we had 1,188 confirmed cases and 478 probable cases. That makes our 2 week burden work out to 3,183 when calculated using only confirmed cases and 4,743 when including probable cases. Both of those rates are in the “Very High” category.
Nearly 2 years into the pandemic, Appleton has finally cracked the 25% figure for the total number of Appleton residents who have had a known confirmed or probable case. 0.35% currently have an active case. 0.11% have died with/from coronavirus. 74.97% of residents are still not known to have had coronavirus.
