what do we say about the data shown on this chart?

Does that graph assume people die 3.5 days after they check into the hospital?
You really should use new daily hospitalizations with a lag and not a hospitalization census. Another thing is that in New York you weren't getting hospitalized unless you were on death's door and a lot of people died outside of hospitals.
Younger people, lag between hospitalization, death, and reporting of deaths and of cource treatment has gotten better. We'll see what happens. There's really no question about what to do now though. Hospitals can only do a good job if they're not overrun and right now they're on that trajectory.

Well at least that explains why Kanye West is a Trump supporter. He's nuttier than a fruitcake.
You’re not up on latest. He’s no longer a trumper. Said he’s taking the MAGA hat off. Wonder if it had something for him to do with his revealing he had covid “pretty bad” a little while ago. Maybe felt lied to by not wearing masks and it would disappear soon. Anyway kind of also explains his recent announcement of running against trump for the presidency. Won’t even touch on that here. But no, he’s no longer in trumps camp.

That's the word I was looking for "Fruitcake" .
Humans give the "Fruitcake" they got last year to a distant relative this year.
Such a wonderful tradition.
Its like wine right ? The older it gets the better ?
Miami Herald with covid stats, from today:
Florida hit with 9,989 new coronavirus cases as the death toll nears 4,000

Fewer than 1% of Seattle protesters test positive for coronavirus
Also, Seattle didn't have the biggest protests by a long shot. We just had the most well known one because of Fox News' fascination with CHAZ/CHOP.

in fact, its been discovered that there are only 11 fruitcakes in the world; and those have been 're-gifted' so many times, its hard to tell where any of them are at any point in time. (the tracker batteries died decades ago)

It's all a conspiracy. Kayne will siphon away the AA vote from Biden, and then weeks before the election drop out of the race and endorse Trump.
I would agree, but feels like my “cognitive dissonance” is kicking in when that chart is presented to me and i still think this Covid thing is a big issue...perhaps in another month that chart will look completely different with a big trend up in deaths...but I remember seeing a chart like that 3 weeks ago and was told the same thing then.
when are we going to think for ourselves instead of brainwashed by fear mongering misleading media?
we’ve been able to think for ourselves to get over TSLA FUD, but now this is starting to feel a bit the same with Covid (unless this chart changes within next few weeks)

He’s just as coo coo still.
Everyone just needs to stick to their core competencies. Kanye making music. Elon making cars and rockets. Trump bankrupting businesses.
You need to add HCQ and a lot of rum to it to make it moist, flavorful and kill COVID19.

I like the idea of calculating deaths as a percent of hospitalizations, but this chart is a mess. Everything before the end of March is almost completely useless. Testing availability was extremely limited then. Coroners put effort into figuring out cause of death, but hospitalization data was all over the map. Many states didn't even report COVID hospitalizations.I would agree, but feels like my “cognitive dissonance” is kicking in when that chart is presented to me and i still think this Covid thing is a big issue...perhaps in another month that chart will look completely different with a big trend up in deaths...but I remember seeing a chart like that 3 weeks ago and was told the same thing then.

He shows hospitalizations dropping a bit over 50% from the peak until mid-June. Deaths dropped a bit more, call it 60-65% in that time, so his percentage drifted down from a bit over 3% to about 2.5%. That could possibly be due to improved treatments. The rise in hospitalizations since then did not produce an immediate rise in deaths because people don't generally die the day they are admitted. They fight for weeks. So those of us "thinking for ourselves" would expect a lag.
Note that deaths have risen vs. prior week for three days straight now.

From the NYT, a Who's who of most affected. US states are treated as independent entities.
Trumper land takes the top 3 spots, and 9 of the top 12. Only the fat arabs of the Arabian peninsula are getting in the way of a clean sweep of the top ten.

Are you for real? Or did you just come over here to troll us? So it's the fear-mongering misleading media that's created anxiety about a pandemic that's killed a hundred and thirty-five thousand people in the United States and that's raging out of control in multiple States? It's obviously the job of the fear-mongering media to make something out of nothing. Then again we have brilliant people like you to point this out to us. We are just sooo fortunate.
thanks for the constructive comments/note (unlike others who bash dissenting opinions on here). I guess we will see how next few weeks play out and look at this chart again...at what point if this trend continues (deaths decreasing and/or staying where they're at let's say) do you change your mind?
For example, if there are 5mm cases reported for example and 1-2 months later only ~100 deaths per day still then I think we'd all change our mind obviously about how much of a concern this COVID pandemic still needs to be...what are the metrics/ranges that would change people's m ind about how much to worry about this even if media kept reporting the most fear mongering click-bait headlines they could possibly draw up? (that is of course the business model of today's media)
You're right I'm not up on the latest. But it sounds like he's still nuttier than a fruitcake!
