Yes. This is literally all anyone has argued.
I think what happened in this thread is that the original statement way back on the first page was:
quote:
hospitalizations continue to slow down
Which is kind of a poor sentence that doesn't really mean anything. Something like "The increase in hospitalizations is slowing down" is what I think the poster was trying to say.

Thanks for the compliment, but that's a different part of the bible.

I don't think there are dumps of the hospitalization numbers.

7 day not big enough. 21 day is my preference and it seems to be jbe preference too

I said that.
I honestly did not think that it was a difficult statement to understand.
I forget how dumb some of the posters here on though.
My mistake, I guess.

Statistics don't stand a chance in hell when facing off against semantics.

my 4 year old could see that we are currently not in negative hospitalization numbers, so why would anyone think I was suggesting we were decreasing in raw numbers?
some people baffle me to no end

No, they are not. We were operating off of a different set of assumptions. This has been explained ad nauseam.

If the statistics did t prove you wrong, having Mr Perfect agree with you certainly did.

even if we operated under you assumptions, the 7 days averages still say the rate is decreasing when you argued that they were increasing earlier

It's not a mistake really, just imprecise language. For the record, I think your underlying point is very probably correct. I could be wrong, but it does seem like this latest little increase/spike/peak/whatever you want to call it is turning around. The positive percentage numbers never got really high this time. Same with the vent numbers. If hospitalization numbers peak and start going down that will be great news.

The argument about the 7 day rolling averages was started after the fact.
My initial argument was that metrics had been trending up for a while, which is true looking at the numbers over the whole month of July as compared to June and may.
The entire 7 day debate may as well be a different thread lol.

the entire point of looking at the rate of increase is to see if we are past peak of this 2nd spike
why would we compare numbers to June and May? thats dumb
nobody is denying that we are currently within a 2nd spike

Just curious as to if these people were being tested due to exposure or had symptoms -- places are doing it differently. Surely none enough to go to the hospital if htey're at a walkin clinic.
My husband just told me his sister is positive -- tested yesterday as she wasn't feeling well. She was on vacation last week with my in laws and other sister in law so now they're all quarantining. SIL did get tested and it was negative. Sick sister in law said shes feeling much better today which leads me to it ain't all that for everyone. For some yes, but for many no. So there's my anecdotal experience.

Absolutely unacceptable that they are allowed to report cases for today that occurred 2 months ago.
Need to report cases on their actual day so we can have a true representation. This is basic statistics. How can any of this be used as a true reference to make decisions off of?
