Wear your fucking mask before going around talking to your neighbors - see Rant in #6 below. Not everyone wants to be a fucking experiment as to whether they get the mild version or the hospitalization version of this. Now I have to be on symptom-watch and worry for the next 3-7 days

Edit: I changed the title to point to the January 4 situation - see #7 below. The original title of this Dec 31 OP was:
Minnesota Covid vacation is over, 7 day moving average is on the rise again End Edit

Our daily new cases, 7 day moving average had fallen more than 47% between December 6 and December 27, while most of the country has been increasing.

but has risen, coincidentally 47%, from December 27 thru December 30. (A 47% rise doesn't make up for a 47% decrease, percentage changes are oddball in that way, anyway December 30 is still down 22% from December 6).

Daily new cases, 7 day moving average
Dec 6   4755   Recent peak, highest since last winter
Dec 27   2530   Recent low point
Dec 30   3713   Latest

Edited to add Of all 50 states, only one has declining cases, Maine. So we're not alone, 48 other states have rising cases.

Hospitalizations are still going down from a recent peak of 1776 on Dec. 10 (highest since last winter) to 1477 on Dec. 29, a decrease of 17%. But the rate of decline is slowing somewhat.

"Incomplete data" for December 30 hospitalization.
