No press briefing today (1/4/22), but there was a new modeling report. You can see all 60 slides, as always, on the DFR website. Here’s the link to today’s report: dfr.vermont.gov/sites/finreg/f…
I’ll share a few slides that stuck out to me in a 🧵. Here’s the overall summary.

Cases are up, a lot. And the forecast is for a lot more.
Although the case rate is increasing at a higher level for vaccinated individuals, those who are unvaccinated are still much more likely to have serious complications or death.
Howdy, friends! I hope you are ready for yet another #vtpoli #covid19vt press conference twitter storm. I'm only going to be tweeting the first hour today, probably up to question time, because then I have to duck out for this:
Please join me on @TwitterSpaces at 1pm for that chat. In the meantime, answer me this: would it be helpful for me to go back and tweet the rest of the presser when I'm done, so you can have the full thread, even if it's not in real time? Or is it less helpful if it's not live?
Governor Scott begins today reminding people who gathered over the holiday week to get tested now. "Finding cases helps contain them before they spread to more people, and they will continue to be an essential tool for years to come." Increased cases expected in the coming weeks.
🚨🚨Heads up! Today’s #vtpoli #covid19vt press briefing begins early, at 11:30am. You can listen on @vprnet and I’ll be tweeting! Consider this an extra early start to the thread.🚨🚨
After it’s over, stick around for a broadcast of @ButWhyKids. Our latest episode of this international show for kids is set right here in Vermont, at Champlain Orchards. That will air when the post-presser analysis ends.
As we await the start of the briefing, take a look at this, from the state’s new modeling report. Cases are up significantly in Vermont. You can find the full report here: dfr.vermont.gov/about-us/covid…

@vprnet A few asides. I got a COVID test last Thursday afternoon (I had attended a family funeral in Maine--masked indoors but unmasked for the outdoor reception, so I wanted to be on the safe side). Results came back on Saturday morning. Anyone still struggling to get timely results?
And I just got this note from my kids’ elementary school. Now very much hoping to hear more this hour. #vted
Over the weekend, the total number of tests on Vermont's its COVID-19 dashboard *dropped* by about 1,500, from 23,205 to 22,276.
Why? @healthvermont
says those totals used to include serology testing; they no longer do.

Why does that make sense? Because if you test positive for antibodies, you don't get counted as an active case, but prior to May 16th, your test *would* have gotten counted in the total number of tests.
Here’s a food-based analogy (my favorite kind of analogy) from @healthvermont
