Here’s the July 2023 dashboard summary. We continue semi-regular COVID-19 dashboard numbers from the Vermont Department of Health, and MA and NH counties that surround Brattleboro, as long as they continue providing them. It could be ending soon. Scroll down the new comments for the latest.
VT, NH, and MA all seem to be doing weekly updates, near the end of the week. Variant updates are every two weeks now.
Here are links to the full list of dashboard summaries: June, May, April, March, February, January 2023, December, November, October, September, August, July, June, May, April, March, February, January 2022, December, November, October, September, August, July, June, May, April, March, February, January 2021, December, November, October, September, August, July, June, May, and April 2020. 36 months!

VT ( Wednesday updates)
Report Timeframe: June 25 to July 1, 2023
Statewide hospitalization levels: Low. New COVID-19 admissions are below 10 per 100,000 Vermonters per day.
• New hospital admissions of patients with COVID-19, last 7 days: 1.28 per 100K o 8* total new admissions with COVID-19
*Due to the Independence Day holiday, some facilities may not have submitted all data by the time of report.
The number of reportable COVID-19 cases is still available in this report, below. Laboratory- confirmed and diagnosed COVID-19 cases and COVID-19 outbreaks must still be reported to the Vermont Department of Health
The seven-day rolling average of hospital patients admitted with a laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 was between one and three. The number is the daily average of the previous seven days; for example, the value for May 28 is the daily average for the days of May 21 through May 27.
The Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notification of Community-based Epidemics (ESSENCE) reflects all individual visits from participating emergency departments1, to identify visits for COVID-Like Illness (CLI). During this reporting period the proportion of emergency visits in participating departments that included CLI was about 1%, less than the same time in 2022.
No new sequences were available during the most recent weeks. (Sources: Broad; Aegis; Helix; LabCorp; Quest; Health Department Whole Genome Sequencing program)

This concludes July numbers. Note that Mass. numbers are on the rise, with transmission rates going up again. MA stats are probably the most reliable, since they haven’t altered the way they report as VT and NH have.
4th time's the charm
I’ve had Covid 4 times in the last 2 years; 3 of those in the period of Dec 2022- June 2023. Each time was a completely different experience. The first was by far the worst, with subsequent effects being lesser and lesser, Since I didn’t go to the doctor, much less the hospital (the first 2 times I got it were from hospital staff), I don’t count in these figures and don’t know which variants I caught.
