Daily U.S. data on April 9

One in five Americans is fully vaccinated, according to the latest data posted on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website Thursday afternoon. A third of the population has received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine.

The US is currently administering an average of 7 million vaccine doses per day over seven days as the daily case numbers remain below the winter peak but in line with the summer increase.

US percentage of the vaccinated population

More than 66 million Americans, or 20% of the population, are now fully vaccinated with one shot of the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine or two shots of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. About a third of the population has received at least one dose of vaccine.

One in four people over the age of 18 is fully vaccinated, and according to CDC data, nearly 60% of those over 65 are fully vaccinated.

US vaccine shots administered

After 3.4 million vaccinations on Thursday, the 7-day average of the administered doses is 3 million per day.

US Covid cases

The rate of new coronavirus cases in the US is well below its peak of around 250,000 new cases per day in January, but is closer to the numbers seen during the summer surge. In July, the average daily number of cases reached nearly 70,000.

The most recent 7-day average of new Covid-19 cases in the US is 66,000, according to Johns Hopkins University.

US Covid deaths

The 7-day average of Covid-19 deaths in the US is 978, according to Hopkins.

The nationwide trend in Covid deaths in the past few days is being influenced by a mass release of data from approximately 1,800 Oklahoma deaths. These deaths are currently all reported for April 7, 2021, although they may have occurred weeks or months earlier. The Oklahoma Department of Health announced that the state is currently transitioning to data reporting guidelines that meet CDC requirements, which is causing this increase.

Prior to this reporting anomaly, the daily US Covid death toll had declined from record levels in January.

President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that the United States has administered 150 million Covid-19 vaccination shots since his inauguration. The president now aims to deliver 200 million vaccine doses within his first 100 days in office.

The country is already on the right track to achieve this goal. In the remaining days leading up to April 30, Biden’s 100th day in office, the US will have to administer an average of 2 million daily vaccine doses to total 200 million. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows the country is currently administering an average of 3 million shots a day.

If the country maintains its current daily pace for the remainder of the month, the Biden government will land about 225 million total doses in that 100-day period.

Biden announced Tuesday that states should open vaccine dates for all adults in the US by April 19, extending its original deadline by nearly two weeks.

US Covid cases

The number of coronavirus cases is still well below its high in January, but slightly above the last low in late March. The seven-day average of daily new cases is 64,700, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, a level similar to that of the country during the summer surge.

Michigan, where the average daily new cases increased 24% from a week ago, continues to have the country’s worst per capita outbreak. Case numbers are increasing by 5% or more in 22 states, according to a CNBC analysis of the Johns Hopkins data.

US Covid deaths

The 7-day average of daily Covid-19 deaths in the US is 785.

On Monday, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said that emergency room visits and hospital stays related to Americans 65 and older are declining. Seniors are among the most vulnerable groups and have a disproportionately high proportion of reported Covid deaths.

These downward trends are “good news in terms of vaccination power,” said Walensky.

US vaccine shots administered

The US gives 3 million Covid-19 vaccinations daily, according to CDC data.

White House Covid-19 data director Cyrus Shahpar attributed Tuesday’s underperforming report of 1.4 million shots to last holiday.

“Largely reflects the doses administered over the Easter weekend,” he wrote in a tweet.

US percentage of the vaccinated population

Almost a third of the US population has received at least one vaccine, according to CDC data, and almost one in five Americans is fully vaccinated.

Of those 65 and over, 76% have received at least one shot and 57% are fully vaccinated.

Daily U.S. data on April 6

As the US continues to accelerate its vaccination campaign, averaging more than 3 million shots a day, those in the most vulnerable age group are leading the way. About 75% of Americans age 65 and older have received at least one shot, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and more than half are fully vaccinated.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, CDC director Rochelle Walensky said emergency room visits and hospital stays associated with this population age 65 and older are declining.

These trends are “good news in terms of vaccination power,” said Walensky.

US Covid cases

After a drop in daily case numbers due to Easter Sunday when many states failed to report coronavirus data, a Johns Hopkins University tracker shows the US registered about 79,000 new Covid-19 cases as of Monday. The 7-day average of new cases every day is currently at 64,600 after the country’s low of around 53,000 cases per day in late March, but is showing some signs of plateau.

The demographics of who can become infected with the virus are changing, CDC director Rochelle Walensky told media representatives at a press conference in the White House on Monday.

“As data trends have shown, cases are increasing at the national level and we are seeing this predominantly occur in young adults,” said Walensky.

She added that many of the outbreaks in young people are related to youth sports and extracurricular activities. The risk of outbreak clusters can be prevented with cadenced testing strategies, Walensky said.

The changing population structure is a sign that vaccinations are having an impact, according to Walensky, who cited a decline in emergency room visits and hospital stays for people 65 and older. The majority of this age group have received at least one vaccine.

US Covid deaths

The 7-day average of daily deaths from new coronaviruses is close to 800, according to Hopkins data, well below the country’s winter peak.

Walensky said that not enough is known about whether new virus variants are more deadly.

“With these variants we are still seeing increased transferability. We don’t yet know anything about the increased morbidity and mortality,” she said. “We still have to be very vigilant about these variations.”

US vaccine shots administered

According to the CDC, the United States administers just over 3 million Covid-19 vaccinations per day for an average of seven days.

After four consecutive days of more than 3 million vaccine doses administered, 2.1 million shots were fired on Monday. White House Covid-19 data director Cyrus Shahphar wrote in a tweet that while Monday numbers largely reflect weekend vaccinations and therefore tend to be lower, Easter Sunday was also a reason for below-average data reporting.

US percentage of the vaccinated population

Almost a third of the US population has received at least one shot of a Covid-19 vaccine, according to CDC data, with 18.8% of Americans being fully vaccinated.

Covid cases are rising, hospitalizations have plateaued even as vaccinations rise

The U.S. was administering an average of 3.1 million Covid-19 shots a day over the past seven days and hit a new record over the weekend of more than 4 million shots in a single day as vaccine manufacturing picks up pace and more mass vaccination sites open, Andy Slavitt, White House senior advisor on Covid-19, told reporters on Monday.

“To date, nearly one in three Americans and over 40% of adults have had at least one shot, and nearly one in four adults is now fully vaccinated,” Slavitt said.

He added that 75% of seniors have now received at least one shot and more than half are fully vaccinated.

Despite the progress, Slavitt urged Americans to remain vigilant to prevent the virus from spreading by wearing masks, practicing social distancing, and getting a vaccine when available.

“So we are on the right track,” he said, “but as you heard from the President, we are not there yet. The worst thing we can do now is to confuse progress with victory.”

The daily coronavirus death toll in the US is at its lowest level in months as the country speeds up vaccine delivery. At the same time, outbreaks in states like Michigan are fueling fears of another nationwide surge in Covid-19.

US vaccine shots administered

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a daily record of 4.1 million vaccinations given on Saturday, and more than 3 million vaccination shots were given in each of the past four days.

The 7-day average of recordings made in the US is now just over 3 million per day.

US percentage of the vaccinated population

According to CDC data, more than 165 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccines have been administered in the US.

Almost a third of the population has received at least one dose, and 18.5% of Americans are fully vaccinated.

Of those 65 year olds and older, 75% received at least one dose and 55% are fully vaccinated, according to the CDC.

US Covid cases

About 63,280 new coronavirus cases are reported in the United States every day, according to a 7-day average of data collected by Johns Hopkins University. The number of cases has been picking up again recently after falling sharply for months in January highs.

The growth of new cases is showing signs of plateauing after a small number of new cases reported for Sunday, but many states haven’t reported data because of Easter. It will likely take a few days for the holiday weekend case to be reported and death numbers reported and collected. From this point on, the recent direction of the outbreak becomes clearer.

Michigan, where the average daily new cases are up 39% from a week ago, has the worst per capita outbreak in the country. The state’s seven-day average of nearly 6,500 new cases per day is approaching the level of the winter surge, when the number of cases there peaked averaging 8,300 per day.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former commissioner for the Food and Drug Administration, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Monday that the recent surge in Michigan and other states such as Minnesota and Massachusetts had multiple causes. The spread of virus variants, colder climates making it harder to congregate outdoors, the reopening of schools and increased mobility among residents all contribute to the spread, Gottlieb said.

He does not expect these factors to lead to a nationwide spike in new cases.

“I don’t think this will be the beginning of a real fourth wave,” said Gottlieb. “I think these will be regionalized outbreaks, and hopefully we’ll get beyond that as we vaccinate more.”

US Covid deaths

The daily US Covid death toll is 797 based on a weekly average from Hopkins data. While that number is still up, it is at its lowest level since late October.

Daily U.S. data on March 30, 2021

Amid growing fears of a fourth wave of US Covid-19 cases, government officials urged Americans to continue taking precautions to prevent the virus from spreading.

During a press conference on Monday, the director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention Dr. Rochelle Walensky said she had a feeling of “impending doom” and urged the Americans to “hold out just a little longer”. Later that day, President Joe Biden said the “war on Covid-19 is far from over”. He condemned behaviors that could spread infection and said some states should suspend their reopening plans.

At the same time, a new CDC study of vaccinated health care workers showed that one dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine was 80% effective in preventing coronavirus infections and 90% two weeks after the second dose. The pace of daily vaccinations is close to 3 million shots per day.

US Covid cases

About 66,000 new Covid cases are reported daily in the U.S. based on a 7-day average of Johns Hopkins University data that has ticked up. That number is well below the January high of around 250,000 cases per day, but more in line with the summer increase when daily cases hit close to 70,000 in late July.

Cases are increasing by 5% or more in more than half of the US states based on the change in the 7-day average of daily cases from a week ago.

US Covid deaths

According to Hopkins data, the US reports a weekly average of 990 Covid deaths per day. In total, more than 550,000 US coronavirus deaths have been reported.

US vaccine shots administered

Almost 2.4 million vaccine shots were administered on Monday, bringing the 7-day average of daily vaccinations to 2.8 million, a record level.

Biden said Monday that 90% of adults in the US will be eligible for Covid shots by April 19.

“For the vast majority of adults, you don’t have to wait until May 1st. You can be eligible for your shot on April 19th,” said Biden

US percentage of the vaccinated population

CDC data shows that 95 million people, nearly 30% of the US population, received at least one dose of a Covid vaccine. About 53 million are fully vaccinated with two shots of Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or one shot of Johnson & Johnson.

About half of those over 65 are fully vaccinated, according to the CDC.

Each day knowledge for March 31

Daily data for March 31

The Covid-19 cases in the USA are on the up again. Nationwide infection rates are well below the high of around 250,000 new cases per day in January, but are approaching the numbers seen during the summer surge when the average daily case number hit nearly 70,000.

To expedite the vaccination campaign, many states are expanding licensing guidelines for those who qualify for a shot. Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former commissioner for the Food and Drug Administration, said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Wednesday that the initial phase of expanded eligibility could frustrate some Americans.

“Some states are willing to qualify a wider population for vaccination and tolerate the fact that the first two or three weeks of it will be chaotic,” said Gottlieb. “Once a state opens the eligibility wide, a lot of people will complain that they can go to the website and not get an appointment. It will take a couple of weeks to clear that excessive demand.”

US Covid cases

Approximately 66,800 new coronavirus cases are reported daily in the US, based on a seven-day average of data from Johns Hopkins University. That number has seen an upward trend, raising concerns about a possible “fourth wave” of infections.

US Covid deaths

The daily death toll has fallen significantly since its winter peak, but it still stands at nearly 1,000 a day based on a weekly average from Hopkins data. Since the pandemic began, more than 550,000 deaths from Covid have been reported in the United States, more than any other country.

The introduction of the vaccine could be cause for optimism in this regard. With Americans’ most vulnerable populations protected, the death toll may not increase as much as it has in previous periods when the number of cases has increased.

US vaccine shots administered

As more states expand licensing rules for people who can get a vaccine – President Joe Biden said Monday that 90% of adults in the US will be eligible for shooting by April 19 – the daily rate of vaccination continues to rise.

After 1.8 million reported vaccine doses administered Tuesday, the 7-day average of shots administered in the US hit 2.8 million.

Some concerns about getting the vaccine may be easing. The Kaiser Family Foundation’s most recent survey on the vaccine monitor found a decrease in respondents who said they wanted to wait and see if they received the vaccine. 17% of respondents chose this answer in March, compared with 39% in December.

However, 13% of respondents in March said they would “definitely not” get a vaccine and 7% said they would only get a vaccine if it was necessary for work, school or other activities.

US percentage of the vaccinated population

Nearly 30% of the US population has received at least one dose of vaccine, and 16% of the population is fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

On Wednesday morning, Pfizer said its Covid-19 vaccine was 100% effective in a study in adolescents aged 12 to 15 years.

AstraZeneca points up to date part three trial knowledge

AstraZeneca issues updated phase three trial data

A healthcare worker prepares to inject a vaccine against AstraZeneca coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Eloisa Lopez

AstraZeneca released updated Phase 3 trial data for its Covid-19 vaccine on Wednesday after asking accuracy questions related to a preliminary report from its US study earlier this week.

The company now says its vaccine is 76% effective against symptomatic virus cases. A press release published on Monday reported a symptomatic efficacy rate of 79%. The updated report claims the shot is 100% effective against serious illness and hospital stays.

A group of US health officials criticized the company over the past few days for claiming that they are collecting data to make the results seem more favorable.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases announced Tuesday that the UK-based company may have included information from its US findings that provided an “incomplete view of efficacy data”.

AstraZeneca said at the time that the numbers were based on a “pre-determined interim analysis” and promised to share the updated analysis in the coming days.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, Chief Medical Officer and White House Director at NIAID, described the situation as “unfortunate” and said it was likely that AstraZeneca would issue a modified statement.

“This is really what you call an easy mistake as it is most likely a very good vaccine,” Fauci told ABC’s Robin Roberts on Good Morning America Tuesday. “Something like that … really creates doubts about the vaccines and maybe adds to hesitation. It wasn’t necessary.”

The updated results include data from 190 symptomatic cases in more than 32,000 participants – an increase of around 50 symptomatic cases studied compared to the dataset published Monday.

The results suggest that the vaccine is more effective than previously thought in patients aged 65 and over, with a newly reported efficacy rate of 85% for this population versus 80% previously reported.

AstraZeneca reiterated Wednesday that the vaccine was “well tolerated” among participants and that no safety concerns were identified.

AstraZeneca has faced a separate backlash over the past few weeks due to reports of blood clotting related to its vaccine, which is already approved and used by dozen of countries around the world. Several European nations have suspended and then resumed use of the vaccine after independent safety reviews.

U.S. well being company casts doubt over AstraZeneca vaccine knowledge

U.S. health agency casts doubt over AstraZeneca vaccine data

LONDON – A US health agency on Tuesday expressed concern that AstraZeneca may have included out of date information from a clinical trial of its Covid-19 vaccine, which may cast doubt on the published efficacy results.

The Data Safety Monitoring Board “was concerned that AstraZeneca may have included out of date information from this study that may provide an incomplete view of the efficacy data,” the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said in a statement.

“We urge the company to work with the DSMB to review efficacy data and ensure that the most accurate and up-to-date efficacy data is released as soon as possible.”

The NIAID is led by the White House Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Anthony Fauci, directs and is part of the National Institutes of Health.

AstraZeneca did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment.

The statement comes just a day after the results of a large U.S. study showed that the coronavirus vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University is 79% effective against symptomatic illness and 100% effective against serious illness and hospitalization.

Data from the late-stage human study was based on more than 32,000 volunteers at 88 trial centers in the United States, Peru, and Chile.

The results were welcomed as “surprisingly positive” and “good news for the global community”.

AstraZeneca said it plans to prepare the primary analysis, which will be submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for emergency approval before mid-April.

The Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine had been temporarily suspended in several countries after blood clots were reported in some people who had been vaccinated. However, AstraZeneca said Monday that the independent DSMB had not found an increased risk of blood clots.

Ruud Dobber, executive vice president of AstraZeneca’s biopharmaceuticals business, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Monday that it was “very gratifying to see that the Data Safety Monitoring Board, even with a magnifying glass, is not an imbalance between the vaccinated group and the vaccinated group the placebo group. “

“That gives us a lot of confidence,” he added.

Gasoline demand rebounds to almost regular March ranges, in accordance with newest GasBuddy knowledge

Gasoline demand rebounds to nearly normal March levels, according to latest GasBuddy data

U.S. gasoline demand is nearing normal levels as Americans took to the streets again amid the economic recovery and the introduction of the Covid-19 vaccine.

Demand is almost at the normal March level and continues to rise according to the latest data from GasBuddy. Thursday demand was 17.5% higher than the average for the four previous Thursdays.

“There has been an impressive rebound in demand over the past few weeks and I continue to be surprised every day,” noted Patrick De Haan, Head of Petroleum Analysis at GasBuddy.

Except for one Sunday, every day since February 20th has seen positive percentage growth. There are, of course, many factors that drive gas demand. One of them could be people driving long distances for Covid-19 vaccines. The spring break could also be a driving force.

Nevertheless, the trend shows an upward trend.

“It’s still March, which means the economy is recovering and we’re approaching summer. All the signs point to higher demand than I think almost everyone expected just a few months ago,” added De Haan.

Source: GasBuddy

The graph above shows the recovery in demand. It compares daily gas mileage to February 2020, which was just before the US stalled.

The data showed that demand last Thursday was 1.8% higher than last Thursday before the Covid lockdown took effect in 2020. However, the data is not seasonally adjusted and February tends to be the weakest month for gas demand .

More consumers on the street combined with a decline in gasoline supplies have pushed prices up.

“On average, Americans pay 14% more to refuel than in February,” said Jeanette McGee, AAA spokeswoman, in a statement on Monday. “Given the increased demand and the tighter gasoline supply, we expect more expensive pump prices with little relief in the coming weeks.”

On Friday, the national average for a gallon of gasoline, according to the AAA, was $ 2.886, up 69 cents or 31.4% year over year.

With media offers full, NFL eyes over $100 million per yr for its knowledge rights

NFL asking for 100% increase on TV rights, Disney pushing back

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (87) caught a pass in the first half at MetLife Stadium in front of Pittsburgh Steelers strong security Terrell Edmunds (34) and linebacker Devin Bush (55).

Vincent Carchietta | USA TODAY Sports

About 30 minutes after the National Football League announced their new 11-year media rights deal this week, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft praised commissioner Roger Goodell.

Kraft, the chairman of the league’s media committee, had many reasons to congratulate Goodell. He has just given more than $ 100 billion in media rights fees to NFL team owners. Kraft was so excited that he said working with Goodell on these negotiations was “one of the most enjoyable experiences of my professional career.”

Kraft added, “He regards his position as the steward of the league’s long-term best interest. Coupled with his unique strategic business acumen, we can achieve results like this. We are very happy to have him as ours.” Commissioner. “

Goodell has completed a decade of NFL labor peace and TV deals. Now he will oversee the league’s data rights that fuel sports betting. The NFL could seek over $ 100 million a year for its new data rights agreement, according to people familiar with the situation.

People said the NFL was trying to reconcile its new data rights deal with media contracts. The individuals spoke to CNBC on condition of anonymity for privacy reasons. One respondent said the NFL could charge as much as $ 250 million as its data rights continue to lead U.S. sports betting transports.

The NFL currently has a data agreement with Sports Radar and has a stake in the company since 2015. The terms of this agreement are unknown, but the parties are currently in talks to extend the agreement.

Sportradar is a data and integrity company that collects sports data such as live play-by-play and manages the NFL’s next generation stats using Amazon technology. The company has entered into contracts with sports game companies to provide data that will be used to set betting odds. Sportradar uses the SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) route to enter the public market.

The company also renewed its contract with the National Basketball Association last October. As part of his previous contract, she paid the NBA about $ 41 million a year. Chicago-based Stats Perform is also one of the best-known data companies.

The NFL did not provide an officer to discuss the matter and Sportradar declined to comment.

With regard to the broader agreement on media rights concluded on Thursday:

Amazon video ads could increase with NFL

Networks that had the NFL’s Thursday package aren’t going to lose the game entirely, as the two teams playing in the game have the competition on the air and Amazon has to pay the cost of production.

This can get expensive, but Amazon’s video ads will benefit from it. In a statement to customers, Morgan Stanley analysts wrote that Amazon’s video ads are the fastest growing part of the company’s advertising revenue of around $ 20 billion. And now that it’s all football, rates could go up. The tech company only tracks Google and Facebook to get market share for digital advertising.

“The Amazon deal is particularly interesting because it shows the importance of live sports content in the streaming wars,” Bill Wise, CEO of advertising software company Mediaocean, told CNBC via email. “It also shows Amazon’s continued foray into advertising and, with it, its unique ability to close the loop between screens and purchase.”

“For advertisers, the imperative is clear,” added Wise. “You need to think about omnichannel and consistently market your brands across screens to connect with fragmented audiences.”

Disney gains access to Super Bowl money

With Disney back on the rotation to broadcast Super Bowls, it will now be able to take advantage of the most watched U.S. sporting event and money that comes with it.

The 2021 Super Bowl commercials were around $ 5.5 million per ad. For the 2020 game, Fox raised more than $ 400 million from Super Bowl spots. Once it’s time for Disney in 2026, that rate could top $ 7 million per slot. Disney will also have a Super Bowl worth $ 2.7 billion a year in 2030 under its agreement.

The NFL’s Covid-19 Super Bowl in February drew 96.4 million viewers who saw the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeat the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9. Although NFL attendance has declined, the game remains a draw for marketers.

“Linear television continues to be a major pillar of the branding budget and the Super Bowl offerings are reaching a reach like no other event in the world,” said Wise.

Fox was able to see effects after cutting TNF

Had Fox kept Thursday’s package, it could potentially have paid nearly $ 3 billion for NFL rights, counting the $ 660 million per year it currently spends on the TNF package. Advertising data company MediaRadar estimates that Fox’s 2020 NFL games generated around $ 2 billion worth of national advertising, largely from Sunday afternoon games.

“It’s the weakest of the packages,” longtime television manager Neal Pilson said of TNF. “No surprise that none of the networks wanted it, and it’s no surprise that Amazon stood up for it.”

However, unloading NFL rights comes at a cost to Fox. Deleting TNF could impact Fox stations ‘network of distributors and subsidiaries’ retransmission fees in 2024, which may have to pay less on Thursdays without the NFL.

Morgan Stanley said, “We assume that Fox’s existing retransmission agreements will not be affected by the loss of this content. Once these agreements are in place and Fox begins negotiating new distribution agreements with MVPDs and Fox station subsidiaries, the release of TNF cause costs. “

But one of the interesting parts of the new rights deal is that the network’s FoxBet gambling asset will become an official league sportsbook “when and when the NFL approves official sports betting operators for their officially licensed intellectual property,” according to one Fox Sports press release.

This puts Fox in the best position to take advantage of the popular NFL betting as the league continues to explore the sports betting arena and also help network partners. And once the NFL has organized its role in the sports game, Kraft’s praise for Goodell should only increase as more revenue is generated.

“We’re going to find ways we can appeal to fans through legalized sports betting,” said Goodell of media companies’ support for gambling. “But we have retained these rights and will see where these opportunities lie and how we work with our network partners. However, we assume that they will be involved in all of our activities in the future.” . “
