“If one takes today’s figure 17,493
subtract total discharges 14,950
the number doesn’t look too big 2,543”
Looks like i transposed the discharge numbers
14590 rather than 14950
should look like
17,493 hospitalizations (cumulative)
14,590 discharged (cumulative)
2,903
so only 2,903 currently hospitalized in New York for COVID-19 ?????
some are making this mistake.. (thanks to bad labeling)
the 17,493 is current hospitalization
the newly daily hospitalized is NET CHANGE from previous day
some are taking the newly daily hospitalized and subtracting the new daily released and getting a negative number
They push them through. The optics are better. Until the relapses, anyway.
