WPCNR CORONAVIRUS MONITOR. From the NY Coronavirus Tracker. August 26, 2021:

The New York State Coronavirus Tracker reports 215 of 7,318 tested in Westchester yesterday August 25, tested positive for corona virus an infection rate of 2.9%. this marked the fourth consecutive day that Westchester County has stayed at the rate of one person infected with covid spreads the virus to one other person — the rate at which the virus infections do not increase exponentially, according to the Johns Hopkins spread metric.

However the bounce back up to 215 infections will mean 215 infections two weeks from yesterday. Westchester is being more careful but we have to vaccinate and not mingle irresponsibly.

For the record, since Governor Hockel as taken office, the Covid Tracker is now being updated by 6 PM, not 3 PM as was previously the case.

The COVID-19 Vaccine Tracker Dashboard is available to update New Yorkers on the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. The New York State Department of Health requires vaccinating facilities to report all COVID-19 vaccine administration data within 24 hours; the vaccine administration data on the dashboard is updated daily to reflect the most up-to-date metrics in the state’s vaccination effort. New York State Department of Health-reported data from NYSIIS and CIR differs slightly from federally-reported data, which is inclusive of federally-administered doses and other minor differences. Both numbers are included in the release above.
