All under water (good). No idea why the disparities between Cases, Hospitalizations and Deaths but this is the cash value of those disparities: People are getting sicker and dying. Thirty-four percent fewer people are testing positive but only 14% fewer are going to hospital. That means people are getting sicker. And the next domino: only 1% fewer are dying.
