Are deaths the only thing that matters to you? Shouldn't we be just as concerned about hospitalizations? Is there any reason that you're aware of for cases to not be a good proxy for hospitalizations?
- gnusty_gnurc 6y agoMy point is that: hospitalizations != cases It would make sense that an observed drop in deaths would correspond to a drop in hospitalizations if the case number is rising significantly. That's good imo. edit: CDC graph shows hospitalization rate steadily dropping.
- inyourtenement 6y agoWhen you say "observed drop in deaths" are you referring back to the original article? Because the first sentence is "Two new peer-reviewed studies are showing a sharp drop in mortality among hospitalized COVID-19 patients." so I'm having trouble making sense of what you're saying.
