If there are +38 deaths, shouldn't the number of hospitalizations start at-38 for that day, then +/- new hospitalizations? I've wondered this every time I see updated numbers.
Deaths aren't reported that quickly. The official death certificate has to be completed and turned into the state.
The 38 number you see today probably consists of people who died 1-4 weeks ago.
