The Omicron 2 strain of the virus appears to be making minor inroads, accounting for 3.07 percent of samples sequenced by the CDPHE during the week of February 20, the most recent for which figures are available; no Omicron 2 samples were detected a week earlier. So far, however, both Omicron strains appear to be considerably milder than the Delta variant that preceded them. Meanwhile, the state's positivity rates of 3.54 percent on March 14 and 2.
Even better is the decline in new hospital admissions. The lack of any admissions at all on March 13 represented the brightest spot, but admissions on March 12 and March 14 were both under twenty. Overall hospitalization totals for COVID patients are dipping, too, with fewer than 300 receiving treatment each day since March 8.
105 people immunized on March 13 with Moderna vaccine ; 242 immunizations with Moderna vaccine reported March 13 but administered on an earlier date 8 people vaccinated on March 13 with Janssen vaccine ; 6 immunizations with Janssen vaccine reported March 13 but administered on an earlier date Zero hospitalizations generate little incentive for anti-vaxers to roll up their sleeves. But a jab is still a small price to pay to keep numbers this good., it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
