Thanks for the link. The graphs are great but focus on the total number of cases and the total deaths. Those are important and generally what the headlines focus on. But, IMO, what is more important is the rate those numbers are changing over time. Particularly the hospitalizations. Think of the rate of change as acceleration or deceleration.

I eventually found some of the data I was interested in and put it in a spreadsheet/table.






As we don't really have a lot of data points, so it's premature to draw conclusions but there are some interesting trends that perhaps are developing. The overall rate of change in cases reported and deaths seems to be trending down. And if the 3/30 data continues for hospitalization and ventilators, it's really a step change there in the right direction. Perhaps something really good is happening there.

BTW, the rate of change is in table is fractional, x100 to get percent.
