I started tracking the number of new hospitalizations of COVID patients in Florida.
Jul 2 = 341
Jul 3 = 244
Jul 4 = 160
Jul 5 = 150
Jul 6 = 380
Jul 7 = 333
Even though we have had record numbers of new COVID cases in Florida for over two weeks, we are not seeing any sort of increase in hospitalizations for COVID infected patients.
I will continue tracking the COVID hospitalization numbers to see if there are any changes.
If other states are reporting covid hospitalizations, it would be good to post the data from those states.
Here is the link to the source document:

Florida also reports the number of covid positive residents and staff in Long Term Care Facilities.
http://ww11.doh.state.fl.us/comm/_partners/covid19_report_archive/ltcf_latest.pdf
On July 2 there were 2084 covid positive residents.
On July 8 there were 2489 covid positive residents.
On July 2 there were 3279 covid positive staff.
On July 8 there were 4542 covid positive staff.
Florida has set aside something like 12 nursing homes who only have covid positive residents or staff.
Florida also regularly tests the residents and staff at all nursing homes for covid.
Not sure if there is a trend here or not. But I will continue to follow on a daily basis.
What are other states reporting????
