Positivity rate and hospitalizations continue to rise, albeit the latter at a pretty slow rate

Percent positive can probably be explained by a number of factors including, but not limited it, contact tracing (actively hunting virus in a target rich environment) and issues with the electronic reporting of specifically employer driven tests (positives must be reported immediately, negatives may not be reported until later).
Who knows what's going on with hospitalizations? People coming in for surgery, getting a positive test, and staying for their recovery count as a CoviD hospitalization? Someone coming in as a car wreck same scenario? Broken legs? On and on...
Not to mention that hospitals themselves are likely good vectors for the disease so that folks already admitted or in the ICU go from being negative to positive over the length of their stay.
