    Q for the stats gurus - where's the best source for hospitalization stats? Worldometer does a good job of tracking and visualizing death trends, but hospitalization is tougher to find.

    I tried to find out how many beds in Riverside County and failed miserably

    Jay’s a data guy. He took Stat 311 back in the 70’s to earn that Econ degree. Probably a lot of power BI and Tableau was used.

    I’ve seen these people in business a lot. There are a lot of posers that claim to be about data and remind you over and over that they are data guys. They use it for confirmation bias occasionally. Anyone who repeatedly tells you they are about the data, isn’t about the data. Leading with data shows you are about the data.

    Jay’s a poser.

    Remember, cases is not equal to people that tested positive. One person can test numerous times, each counting as a case.

    I would guess that's an insignificant number. Moot point anyways since cases shouldn't be used to establish anything involving the trends/progression of the virus. Hospitalizations and deaths are all that matter.

    I agree, but all we hear about is the cases. The cases are driving the decisions on policy and fear. If there is a way to show that cases are a poor, inaccurate way to calculate, then maybe...just maybe, people will look at data that is more realistic.
