***UPDATE*** There were some questions about the Covid data Appleton had reported for the last several days on the dashboard. I contacted the Appleton Health Department and the nurse I spoke with determined that some of the numbers on the dashboard had been entered incorrectly. Those numbers have been updated and I have now updated this post to reflect the correct numbers.
The City of Appleton seems to have worked out the technical issues they were experiencing with their Covid dashboard. Numbers are now posted through 02/13/2022. I do think there may be a mistake in the daily new cases they gave for 02/13/2022. They list 9 new cases, but in order to get up to a total number of 21,156 cases, it seems to me that they would need to have had 19 new cases on 02/13. [The correct numbers were 21,146 and 9 new cases.] Between 02/09/2022 and 02/13/2022 Appleton had 86 confirmed cases and 10 probable. Active cases rose by 10 to 150 and cases out of isolation increased by 85 to 20,915. We had one new death bringing our total number of deaths since the start of the pandemic in Appleton on March 18, 2020 to 81.
Appleton’s current 7-day running average of confirmed and probable cases is only 9 points above where it was on this day last year, and it dropped by 15 points since 02/08/2022. Appleton currently has 150 active cases as compared to 344 on this day last year. Between March 18, 2020 (the day of Appleton’s first recorded case) and February 13, 2021 recorded 60 deaths with/from coronavirus as compared to only 18 such deaths during that same timeframe this most recent cycle. Last year on this day Appleton’s deathrate for known cases was 0.80% as compared to 0.14% currently.
Over the course of last week, Appleton recorded a total of 121 confirmed cases and 31 probable cases. The week before, we recorded 225 confirmed cases and 92 probable cases. That makes our two week burden per 100,000 residents calculate out to 625 when including probable cases and 461 when using on confirmed cases. Both of those rates are out of the “critically high” burden category and down in the “very high” category. Our total number of weekly cases basically decreased by half of where they were the week before and are currently down to where cases were at the end of August/beginning of September 2021.
Since Appleton’s first recorded case on March 18, 2020, 28.19% of Appleton’s approximately 75,000 residents are known to have had a confirmed or probable cases of coronavirus. 0.11% have died with or from coronavirus. 1/5th of 1% currently have an active case. 71.81% are not known to have had a recorded case of covid.
