Florida does report hospital stats.I believe this will quickly morph into a discussion about the fatality rate. And I don’t think Florida reports hospitalizations, I’m not sure how that site accounts for that.I find it hard to believe that the hospitalization rates described in the graph next to deaths don’t reflect the beginning of an uptick in deaths. Moreover, that’s a rolling average above smoothing out the delay in reporting that you see one day to the next. Taking the 4,5,6 off and dumping deaths into the 7,8,9 doesn’t really make much of a difference for a rolling 7-Day average.His week has more to do with a 4 day holiday week and LA and another couple counties not reporting for days until this week. Most weeks we were dropping 5% or so. Last week we dropped almost 30%. I would look to next week to see if it is truly and increase.
Was hoping that deaths would continue to stay down somehow—treatment improvements and the possibility of reduced lethality—but they’re officially back up again on a 7-day Rolling a average. With big states like CA, FL, TX still seeing cases through the roof this does not look good. It seems unlikely we’re going to get those states under control.
To me it’s no Longer will they rise but how high they rise. Plateau at late May early June? Or, match or surpass the worst days in April and early May. Best case is hope for the former suppose.
The sheer volume of cases is bad, and really the only out here is for enough people to make good decisions on their own.
Also. NJ has reported almost 300 deaths this week so far.
They are averaging less than 10 a day now.
