Our hospitalizations have stayed. Why? Because old people aren’t being admitted with it. The two I saw yesterday have been in since January.
Have stayed down
“old people aren’t being admitted with it.”
We are approaching 50% of those 65+ being fully vaccinated (next week). 71.8% have had at least a first shot.
Nursing Home residents have been overwhelmingly fully vaccinated for more than a month already.
Supposedly, J&J is going to catch up on their late March deliveries, and meet April’s. That alone would produce 40-50 million more fully vaccinated people, in April alone - similar to the 50 million cumulative total that we just achieved in today’s report.
A growing tsunami of vaccine is approaching, with more than enough for every American by the end of June.
“Our hospitalizations have stayed down”
The Nationwide trend had flattened after a steep decline (that you saw first hand), but recently the new hospitalizations trend has just inflected slightly upward (graph in post #3, with the red line showing the 7 day moving average).
Nothing big, but something to note, for our situational awareness. Cases and new hospitalizations inflected, but deaths have just flattened after their steep decline - however, that curve tends to trail the others by a few weeks.
