Hospitalization increase is due to remdesivir being released for wide use

People over a certain age or health status are admitted to get the infusion

Personal anecdote time. I have a 60 year old relative in Jefferson parish who got sick. Last Wednesday his breathing became labored so he went to the hospital. They admitted him, and placed him in ICU. He got remdesivir, and was ultimately released on Sunday. He's home now, recovering and doing much better, still missing taste/smell but all other symptoms almost gone

If this is the bulk of hospitalizations happening now, seems like those numbers will come down almost as quick as they go up if everybody is just in for a few days
