It's not over, but at this point we see signs of hope.
Covid hospitalizations in Michgan on Friday dipped to 2,952, the lowest since Nov. 12.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services reported a daily average of 4,903 new cases for Thursday and Friday, the lowest since Dec. 20.
Spikes earlier this winter linked to the pandemic's Omicron strain are being followed "by an equally rapid decline once this particular variant has worked its way through Michigan," Dr. Pino D. Colone of Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital noted a few days ago in a Detroit News guest column. He's president of the Michigan State Medical Society.
Still, Bridge Michigan cautions that the decline in the number of cases may have been impacted by fewer people taking Covid tests because of snowstorms this week.
