The County Executive has begun reporting on a new statistic “active cases,” which is defined as the total number of positive cases, minus the number of positive cases two weeks prior, since it is believed that the virus resolves within two weeks. There are 7,679 Active Cases, which is slightly fewer active cases than the County had one month ago, which is evidence of a flattening of the curve. Here is New Castle we have 42 active cases. Further evidence of a flattening of the curve can be found in the number of hospitalizations – as of 4/29 we have 861, as compared to 1,196 hospitalizations two weeks ago. We mourn the loss of over 1000 of our fellow County residents. Our hearts are broken.
