I don't know a good national set of equivalent graphs, but in California the hospitalizations are tracking the case counts with some delay, as are the deaths (though those are even more delayed), so I highly doubt you're just seeing additional asymptomatic cases.
The curve of the ICU cases vs overall hospitalized cases is interesting - it's lower, so potentially that could be good news like we're better at treating it now, or bad news that capacity is already low enough (<%10 in some counties) that it's harder to get an ICU bed than it used to be.
- sbinthree 6y agoWe are way better at treating it, there's just so many more cases. A lot of invisible cases where people get hardcore antivirals a day before they would be hospitalized, etc.
- dmix 6y agoThat's a start, although it'd then be good to compare to compare hospitalizations for flu as well to weed out some of the numbers. I've long want to pull in some data locally and do so some data science on it. Like ranking countries by cases vs population ratios.
