Dave Dixon put together this table so we could see the trend in hospitalizations in recent weeks. The thing to keep in mind is that we know for sure that a large percent, while listed as CV-19, were not admissions for CV-19 treatment. And the number that are solely for remdesivir is also quite high. So while there is an increase in hospitalizations, without knowing the trend in these other factors, it is hard to tell what the true trend is, which is important in terms of assessing the seriousness of cases.

I’ve been hearing about kids being hospitalized for RSV lately, but if they test positive for CV19 then do they get put in that column?
