The hospitalization rates in NY have dropped 25% in the past week and 50% in the past month. Importantly, they are also 34% down compared to 1 year ago, as we head into spring.
Agree completely the drop in hospitalization rates compared to the last week and month is very promising.
However the current # of COVID hospitalizations of 4,670 is still higher (and in some cases more than 200% higher) than the daily hospitalizations in the Fall of 2021. As an example, less than 2k were hospitalized in NY for COVID on 11/1/21.
So I will ask the question (which apparently zero Tunnels posters are interested to answer) once again - If just under 5k hospitalizations is the target number to relax restrictions and spike the mandates, why wasn't this done in the Fall of 2021 when the hospitalization numbers were substantially lower?
