And then never go back up. When that happens, we should have a national celebration! 2021-03-12 14:24:26 I'd vote for hospitalizations, since they are much more timely than deaths. 2021-03-12 14:23:07 We can start with you, New York Times. I've been loving your data but the top of this page should show hospitalizations or deaths, not cases! https://t.co/Tkay4hPHzt 2021-03-12 14:21:22 Vaccines are working. That means cases have decoupled from (lagged) deaths. It's awesome news, but if we keep worrying about cases per se we won't know it. 2021-03-12 14:19:30 The cases are plateauing, the hospitalizations and deaths continue to plunge.

They're like, hey now that we have ALL the information let's take away our competitor's ability to do the most basic tracking. 2021-03-04 13:10:31 Hi, we're totally not tracking individuals, but we will somehow decide whether our cohort assignments are sexist, racist, or otherwise discriminatory. Can't have it both ways.

Aren't groups made up of individuals, and aren't individuals in many groups? Seems like almost a proof that individuals will de facto be tracked. 2021-03-04 12:47:09 Hey Let's stop reporting cases and focus more on hospitalizations.
