Re: Covfefe-19: We Can Handle Slight Inconveniences. Part 8.
I do worry that if it takes two weeks to find and process all the numbers, the numbers we're showing now are wrong as well and we can't say we're at a peak.
Numbers to watch are new/cumulative hospitalizations (which CDPHE is actually now showing.) Those are up to date and (shouldn't) mysteriously add 100 people two weeks later. They show us pretty level in the mid-800s for total hospitalized - we've at least contained things and not overrun the hospitals.
Hospitals are also taking a lot of PUIs, or "yeah, we're pretty sure you got it, we're pretty sure you're gonna be okay, but let's keep you here until we know for sure." That wouldn't happen if the hospitals were getting creamed - they'd be sending them home and only be taking the worst cases
Zero hospitals anticipating an ICU bed shortage in the coming week, and numbers of hospitals anticipating staff and PPE shortages are down as well.
