COVID-19 cases continue to rise rapidly at the Dayton/Montgomery County, State, and National levels. As such, all three have recorded their single highest daily case counts this past week (10/26-11/1).
In addition, the State of Ohio (to include Dayton/Montgomery County) currently estimates that approximately 20% of its recorded cases YTD can be considered “ACTIVE” at this time (and therefore capable of spread). This data would indicate the likelihood of ongoing increased daily case counts which could very quickly create a situation in which local cases requiring hospitalization outpace regional resources.
Later this week I hope to release an updated forecast for regional case grow potentials using the increasing daily case growth rates.
