But if the hospitalization rate and death rate aren't rising dramatically then it's far less concerning.
Like I've said all along, the inconsistency and lack of data provided to the public on this issue is disgusting, and brings into question the validity of everything being reported. Why aren't we ever given the entire story?

There is no reporting standard for states. Cases and deaths we have s pretty good idea. Hospitalization and ICU is where we fall far short. Some states report cumulative hospitalizations while some report only current and some report both. Same for ICU.
