Over the weekend from 10/15/2021-10/17/2021 Appleton recorded 50 confirmed coronavirus cases and 31 probable cases. (The Dashboard only shows the daily increase for 10/17.) Active cases rose by 55 to 302 and cases out of isolation increased by 26 to 10,681. Deaths remained unchanged at 70.
Appleton’s current 7-day running average of confirmed cases is 23.71 and of confirmed and probable combined is 35.14. This is markedly below last year’s 7-day running average of confirmed cases which was 53.43. (Appleton did not start recording probable cases until 11/23/2021.) Appleton currently has 302 active cases as compared to 857 around this time last year. Last year between March 18 (the day of Appleton’s first recorded case) and October 17, Appleton recorded 18 deaths as compared to 7 deaths during that same time frame this year.
Over the course of last week, Appleton recorded 166 confirmed cases and 80 probable cases. The week before we had 192 confirmed cases and 57 probable. That makes our 2-week burden per 100,000 residents calculate out to 660 when including both confirmed and probable cases and 477 when using only confirmed cases. Both of those fall into the “Very High” burden category. As you can see, total cases have been fairly flat for the last 5 weeks.
Thus far over the course of the entire pandemic, 14.66% of Appleton’s residents are known to have had a confirmed or probable case of coronavirus. Only 0.3% are currently active, and 0.1% have died with/from coronavirus. 85.34% of Appleton’s residents either have not gotten coronavirus or have not gotten a case that warranted getting tested.
