Coronavirus Numbers For 07/03/2022 – 07/09/2022

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

Last week from 07/03/2022 through 07/09/2022, Appleton recorded 83 confirmed cases and 16 probable cases for a total of 99. There were no new deaths recorded and the total number of deaths since the start of the pandemic remains at 161.

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 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 14.14 as compared to 1.29 on this day last year, and 6.00 the year before. We had 99 total cases this last week, as compared to 10 on this week last year, and 43 the year before.

During the full 2021-22 cycle we had 63 total deaths with/from coronavirus as compared to 96 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 July 09 in 2021 and 3 in 2020.

At the end of the first-year cycle, the death rate for known cases of coronavirus was 1.20%. 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 July 09, the death rate for known cases of coronavirus is down to 0.12%.

There is currently 1 WI county in the “High” level, 15 in the “Medium” level, and 56 counties in the “Low” level.

The fully vaccinated rates for the “High” county is 55.2%. The “Medium” counties range from 41.6% to 83.5%. The “Low” counties had fully vaccinated rates ranging from 35.8% to 83.2%.
