Death count is one of the largest delayed stat. They aren’t reported until a death certificate is reported to state. So the death could have been weeks ago but gets reported as a death today.


True, but assuming that all of these people leaving the hospital is a good thing bc they were discharged to go home isn’t accurate. Those who left in a body bag would decrease the hospital count as well. That is the only point I’m making. Unfortunately it’s impossible to tell exactly how many went home vs those who passed using this data.

You’re absolutely right but the difference is that we’ve had lots of people leaving in a body bag in the past that we’re replaced by new patients. Seems like we’re replacing fewer of them

They are not counting the deaths as negatives to the hospital numbers!
