“Texas’s virus hospitalizations jumped 11% in 24 hours, according to the state, marking the largest one-day jump since the beginning of the month.”

A one day jump is meaningless. Statistical noise. In my state, hospitals frequently report clumps of cases from previous days together. They don’t report much on Sunday. So there’s always a jump from Sunday to Monday. Look at a trend for a couple of weeks.

And, I expect hospitalizations and deaths to rise as there is more contact. Duh.

That is not the right question. The right question is, is hospital capacity becoming near overwhelmed. If that’s the case, then the Karens may be right. As long as the hospitals can handle the cases, there is absolutely NO reasonable rationale for a continued lockdown.

Eventually, everyone is going to get this virus. I buy flattening the curve. I don’t buy lock it down so noone ever dies.

Its a bogus statistic .
The increase is because the people are back having more elective surgeries are found to be asymptomatic positive with virus too .
The hospitalization is for a surgery not for the virus .
The media lies again .

Hospitalizations due to Corona or just hospitalizations due to many getting elective surgery that was postponed?
