How do these reported Florida COVID numbers make sense?

The 15,000 daily hospitalization number must be the average of total people hospitalized, not daily hospitalizations.

The Sunshine State exceeded its previous record average of around 16,000 new daily cases, which was set in January. The state is now averaging just under 22,000, according to data reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As for daily hospitalization tallies, Florida is currently at its all-time record of around 15,000, exceeding its previous highest peak of around 12,000 last July.

I think the hospitalization is a total.

I'm reading it as 22k total cases. Of that, average of 15k hospitalization.
Is that your question?

new vs total
Posted on 8/18/21 at 9:10 am to Whiznot
15k is the amount of people in the hospital, not the daily avg of people going into the hospital.

It's a bit poorly worded, but the cases number are new cases being added daily, but the hospitalizatons is just the total each day, not NEW admits each day
so 22,000 new cases each day
TOTAL hospitalizations is 15000, which is increasing/decreasing by maybe a hundred or so each day

Not sure - do several days of daily cases equal a hospital case? Just spitballin

Read that as 22k new daily positive cases. 15k total people hospitalized for covid in all

Yeah, I edited the post. There's no way that 15,000 could be added every day.

Can anyone explain what is going on in these graphs?
Helpful fact: Florida has more people fully vaccinated per capita than Sweden.

Are these the same numbers the CDC got caught recently by the state of fabricating and inflating? Couldn't be because the federal government wants to make Ron DeSantis look bad, could it?

Why are we still talking about muh cases?
It's a ridiculous metric that is meaningless.
