Looks like hospitalizations up, vents down.

Part of the decrease in vents is possibly due to a better understanding by doctors who have figured out that venting a person too early can and has done more harm than good in many cases. They have started reevaluating the vent standards in regards to Covid-19.
They are understanding how to treat this illness better and better every day.

This is really great news and we all thought the medical community would get better at this the more we learn about it. But you don't know how that's going to happen so it can't get baked in the predictions.

But... it's going to be a big reason why this thing, while bad, may end up not being as dire as projected.

People are doing great work here.

You always want to be very late in getting a disease. If you got HIV in 80s you were dead. Now you can live a long life. The doctors get better and better at treating.
