FYI, most of your calculations for the percentage increase are off (I only verified this for the ventilator and hospitalization numbers).
You need to divide the number of new cases by the total YESTERDAY. Looks like you divided the number of new cases by the total TODAY. If you fix the numbers, the result is that the percent increase goes up, slightly. Not sure if this is how the other guy has been doing it as well, but if so, then he's been calculating it wrong too.
Example: if you go from 110 vents yesterday to 122 vents today, you have increased by 12 from 110. 12/110 = 10.9%. You have it as 9.8%. That's incorrect.
