Cases are up. Hospitalizations are up. Deaths were falling but have levelled off. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view?list_select_state=all_states&list_select_county=all_counties&data-type=Risk https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view?list_s... Scroll down to the map and see how much of the country has "high" rates of community transmission, meaning more than 100 new cases per 100,000 population in the last week.
If your news sources are not telling you about it, I recommend Violet Blue's Patreon (free), where she posts a roundup of covid news every Thursday. https://www.patreon.com/posts/pandemic-roundup-65708396 https://www.patreon.com/posts/pandemic-roundup-65708396 It's detailed enough to feel informative, and infrequent enough that I don't feel like I'm drowning in bad news all week.
- carlivar 5y agoThe CDC page you linked has graphs and stats of patients "with covid". I don't care much about that. I want to know hospitalizations FROM covid. Where can I get that?
- sp332 5y agoIf cases are up, and hospitalizations are trending up strongly, why do you think they are uncorrelated? You think covid suddenly got less dangerous, and something else started putting people in the hospital who happen to have covid?
- carlivar 5y agoI think the data might be poor. The uncorrelated question is a strawman since I didn't write that.

- amznbyebyebye 5y agoWow great suggestion, thanks! Frankly I’m glad my news sources have stopped reporting on it so frequently… or I have just become immune. :)
