by Pinedale Online!
December 4, 2021
The numbers as of the end of November, 2021 for COVID-19 in both Wyoming and Sublette County show cases of the virus have diminished significantly since the surge in November. The first wave, mostly Alpha variant, peaked in Sublette County in November 2020. This is the variant the vaccines were formulated for. The second wave, mostly Delta variant, peaked in mid-September 2021.
The data shows:
- There have been no deaths in Wyoming for anyone age 18 or under in the two years of the pandemic. Although many children have had the disease, all have recovered.
- 98+% of people who have gotten COVID-19 in Wyoming and Sublette County have recovered from it.
It is clear now that none of the COVID vaccines sterilize the virus and people who have been fully vaccinated can still get the disease and transmit it to others. Current data for Sublette County shows 21% of the people testing positive for COVID-19 have been fully vaccinated. As of November 30, 2021, there have been 9,647 cases of COVID-19 in fully vaccinated people in Wyoming. There have been 110 deaths of fully vaccinated people in Wyoming.
There have been a total of 111,812 confirmed positive and probable COVID-19 cases in Wyoming since the beginning of the pandemic two years ago. Current counts are still showing cumulative totals over a two-year time period for the pandemic as health officials have not yet switched to an annual reporting cycle for COVID-19 numbers.
There have been a total of 1,428 COVID-19-related deaths in Wyoming in two years. There have been 1,494 confirmed and probable cases in Sublette County and 23 total deaths. Sublette County has had 116 cases in fully-vaccinated people and two deaths of people who were fully vaccinated.
The pre-COVID average death rate in Sublette County has been approximately 55 people per year. As of the end of November, the count was 73 all-cause deaths in Sublette County for 2021.
