Coronavirus Numbers For 06/12/2022 – 06/18/2022

I have started pulling Covid case and death numbers from the Wisconsin DHS website instead of from the City of Appleton.

Last week from 06/12/2022 through 06/18/2022, Appleton recorded 102 confirmed cases and 22 probable cases for a total of 124. There were no new deaths reported last week, but there was a death added to 06/11/2022 which brings the total number of deaths with/from coronavirus in Appleton since the start of the pandemic to 160.

Outagamie, Winnebago, and Calumet counties are all in the “Low” Covid-19 Community Level as determined by the CDC’s metrics. That means that Appleton, which straddles those three counties, is back in the “Low” category.

Appleton recorded its first case of coronavirus on 03/18/2020, so we are now on our third year of Covid tracking. The current 7-day running average of confirmed and probable cases is 17.71 as compared to 0.86 on this day last year, and 4.86 the year before. We had 124 total cases this last week, as compared to 6 on this week last year, and 31 the year before.

During the full 2021-22 cycle we had 63 total deaths with/from coronavirus as compared to 95 during the 2020-21 cycle. Right now, we have had 2 death since March 18, 2022, as compared to 3 deaths between March 18 and June 18 in 2021 and 3 in 2020.

At the end of the first-year cycle, the death rate for known cases of coronavirus was 1.18%. At the end of the second-year cycle, the death rate was down to 0.49%. Currently, in the third-year cycle from March 18 to June 18, the death rate for known cases of coronavirus is down to 0.15%.

There are currently 4 WI counties in the “High” level, 24 in the “Medium” level, and 44 counties in the “Low” level.

The fully vaccinated rates for the “High” counties range from 55.8% to 65.1%. The “Medium” counties range from 35.8% to 83.4%. The “Low” counties had fully vaccinated rates ranging from 44.5% to 81.2%.
