I have started pulling Covid case and death numbers from the Wisconsin DHS website instead of from the City of Appleton.
Last week from 08/07/2022 through 08/13/2022, Appleton recorded 144 confirmed cases and 25 probable cases for a total of 169. There were no new deaths recorded last week, but there was one added to the count back on April 30th bringing the total number of deaths since the start of the pandemic to 162. (DHS is also routinely adding cases to the ongoing count, so I updated my charts accordingly.)
Outagamie and Calumet counties are both in the “Low” Covid-19 Community Level as determined by the CDC’s metrics; however, Winnebago County is at the “Medium” level. That means that Appleton, which straddles those three counties, is in the “Medium” 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 24.14 as compared to 16.57 on this day last year, and 8.43 the year before. We had 169 total cases this last week, as compared to 116 on this week last year, and 50 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 3 deaths since March 18, 2022, as compared to 3 deaths between March 18 and August 13 in 2021 and 7 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 August 13, the death rate for known cases of coronavirus is down to 0.12%.
There are currently 27 WI county in the “High” level, 27 in the “Medium” level, and 18 counties in the “Low” level.
The fully vaccinated rates for the “High” counties range from 35.9% to 84.1%. The “Medium” counties range from 38.2% to 81.7%. The “Low” counties had fully vaccinated rates ranging from 45.6% to 83.5%.
