Also interesting to compare the numbers with those from the CDC.

If we're at around 4,000 COVID deaths per week for the past 6 weeks, then does four straight days of over 1100 sound like an accurate representation, or a tallying trick for headlines? I could go either way.

Also interesting that I keep seeing that hospital in Starr County Texas talked about. Are we seeing that in other rural hospitals? The one near me releases their data and their hospitalization rate has been down since a peak in April.
