Say there were 0 people in the hospital 2 days ago.
Then say I didn’t tell you how many went into hospital yesterday.
Now I tell you there are 4 people total in hospital today.
What is the average number of people going to hospital over last 2 days?
For this discussion forget about deaths and discharges.

The state has never provided the granularity to say "On Friday we had 25 patients, over the weekend 15 of those 25 were discharged, and we received 40 new patients, for a new total of 50 patients" If they were, you'd have a point about the making an assumption about the zero. But sense they have just been counting total beds to begin with, using the zero is valid.
Thank you for a reasonable response. I see where you are coming from and can agree with that.

Yes. This is literally all anyone has argued.

It isn’t an opinion or spin. You look for a slow down of the increase first, then eventually a decrease. Not my problem if you somehow magically think it is supposed to happen another way.

Can you admit that you’re a dumbass and can we move on?

if one is trying to determine a peak, you look at the rate of increase

Yeah, I have no clue what’s going on
Went to get vehicle inspected & came back to a bunch of drama
No one at car inspection / service place was wearing masks

Most people are waiting for hospitalizations to start going down, not just slowing down, before celebrating.

because weekly numbers can be manipulated by dumps and so we don't know truly when cases and deaths are getting reported into the system.
so for me dude it's just better to have a larger data sample to mitigate the inconsistencies in the reporting

how many times have they entered backlogged hospitalizations?
which is what this thread is currently about

Again, dumps don’t have anything to do with a current headcount of hospitalization numbers.
Stop confusing that with case numbers.
