There’s good news and there’s bad news about Covid-19 this week. The good news is that testing efforts are finally expanding in West Marin, and a group of first responders were vaccinated in Point Reyes Station on Wednesday. The bad news is that this week saw the largest number of positive test results of the pandemic, and Marin’s intensive care units are approaching capacity, potentially resulting in more fatal outcomes.
The pandemic’s three highest days for positive tests occurred in the last week, peaking at 103 new cases last Wednesday. For every 100 positive tests, public health officials predict another five to 10 people will go to the hospital, three patients will go to the I.C.U., and one or two people will die.
