Got it. Is there a meaningful stat that tracks what we would care about in this regard - i.e. hospitals actually getting over-burdened?
As COVID hospitalizations rise (especially COVID ICU usage), that should prompt us to ask those systems for more information on the nature of that usage and whether there is a current crisis. Basically, it’s a flashing light to let us know to get more info. There’s no perfect data point that would let us know the ground situation at every hospital.
Instead, I’ve seen Texas journalists use the same data to extrapolate an apocalyptic nightmare, but they are suffering from the fatal conceit. The world is messy, and COVID data is messier. You can’t know everything that’s going on, and data will never give you the full picture.
