This is the last monthly COVID report that I’m doing with the COVID Tracking Project data, as they will be suspending their project in another 2 weeks. This causes me no small amount of panic, but I’ll find a good data by the time March comes around.
I live in a college town and we are currently experiencing huge case spike due to return of students. Whether or that will translate into hospitalizations or deaths remains to be seen. I’m surprised I haven’t heard more about this in other college towns, could it be what’s happening in Boston?
Right around 1/17/21 everyone's positives all but fall off a cliff. Do you (or others) know what happened there? I recall hearing a report (but cannot find it) that the CDC changed the threshold on a positive test. Do you or anyone else remember that?

Good stuff. Thanks!

Great analysis, per usual. Re: the short - you put a lot of faith in us to be able to understand Italian! ;)
