What is the source? That says nothing about hospitalization rates.
Wait. I see the source. You aren’t wrong about my eyes. Lol.
Ok I looked at the source.
They are calculating hospitalization rates by population?
It should be by x/y with x=hosp and y = infections.
Hospitalization rates to check the severity of the disease should go by infections. Not population. That doesn’t give a clear picture.
More people who are getting covid are being hospitalized this year. It’s double the rate.
Do the math.
