The decline in new infections we’ve seen for several weeks continued in the past week, but El Paso continues to average about 270 new COVID-19 infections per day. Testing dropped off sharply over Christmas week, which could be cause for concern.

The number of hospitalizations and deaths are still going down, a welcome development.
Here is our final weekly COVID-19 data report of 2020.
New cases and tests
The number of new infections was down for the seventh consecutive week. But the past week decline was about 15% from the previous week, a significantly slower rate of decrease than we’ve seen most weeks since the current infection wave crested at the beginning of November.
However, that decline may be misleading. The number of people tested this past week was only two-thirds of the prior week’s total. Testing was at its lowest level since the beginning of October. That may suggest that a number of asymptomatic people or those with mild symptoms put off testing during Christmas week.
Trends over the next couple of weeks bear watching. If people did delay testing until after Christmas, we could see an uptick in confirmed new infections in the coming week. That would be our first increase in almost two months.

In two weeks — the first full week of 2021 — we’ll start to get some idea of whether Christmas gatherings will cause a surge in new cases.
The combination of delayed testing and Christmas gatherings would be a significant issue if it occurred. We’ll have two wait two to three weeks to know for sure.
Hospitalizations
The number of COVID-19 cases requiring treatment in hospitals and intensive care units continues to decline. We are at our lowest levels since mid-October.
Based on a consistent decline of new infections since the peak the first week of November, El Paso should continue to see a decline in cases requiring hospital and ICU care into at least mid-January.
The trend after mid-January will be determined by whether Christmas and New Year’s gatherings trigger a new surge in COVID-19 infections.
Deaths
The number of confirmed and suspected COVID-19 deaths in El Paso County will surpass 2,000 by the end of the year. That means that one of every 470 El Pasoans alive at the beginning of 2020 died of COVID-19.
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that total deaths in El Paso will surpass 8,000 in 2020, well beyond the 5,604 in 2018, the most recent year available in CDC data and the highest ever recorded in the county.
Since 2009, the number of deaths in El Paso has increased by an average of 2.2% a year. That suggests that El Paso likely had between 5,700 and 5,800 deaths in 2019.
That would mean that the number of total deaths in El Paso grew by about 40% in 2020 compared to 2019.
The number of COVID-19 deaths in El Paso has declined for three consecutive weeks. That decline should continue for the next few weeks, based on infection trends.

The Month of October
Perhaps you are wondering, “Where did the month of October get its name from?” This is a great question, and you might not believe the answer! Just think for a second, where else have you heard the prefix “octo?” That’s right, octo, as in octagon and octopus, meaning eight. But why would the name of the tenth month of the year be derived from the Latin word for eight? Well, there’s a pretty interesting explanation!
October Zodiac Sign
In a previous version of the calendar, used in Ancient Rome, there actually were just ten months instead of twelve. This is because January and February did not exist and March began the year. Because of this, October was the eight month of the year. However, in 153 BCE, when we transferred over to the Gregorian twelve month model of the calendar that we use today, the name stuck. And so we still have the name October, technically meaning “eighth month,” even though we know it as the tenth.
Additionally, while October is in the fall season north of the equator this is not true south of the equator. In the Southern Hemisphere, seasons are opposite, making October a spring month! So, if you were to visit the Southern Hemisphere in October, the weather you would experience would feel much more like that of April.
The official birthstones for the month of October are the opal and the tourmaline. Opals are traditionally an opaque white color that glisten different shades of greens and reds in bright light. Tourmaline stones, on the other hand, are a translucent pink color. While this stone does come in other colors, the pink variety is what is assigned to those born in the month of October.
