There used to be an agency assigned to collecting, analyzing, and publishing this information but that was changed in July by the administration in order to reduce the influence of the CDC and publication of negative information about the COVID-19 pandemic. From the article: "It's very challenging for states to get the multistate view of things," she says. "It's just a lot easier when there's a knowledgeable third-party who can pull the data together, make them consistent across states and actually tell the story of what the information shows." Typically, she says, this role would be fulfilled by the CDC, but the agency was stripped of its role in collecting COVID-19 hospital data in July.
