You are being disingenuous here. Yes, at the height of the Spring first wave we had over 7000 people hospitalized as opposed to approx 3000 currently. However, I think in July or august we were down to the low 300’s. So that is a precipitous rise in hospitalizations with the worst about to hit on December and January as the second wave takes full effect.Despite all the wailing and gnashing of teeth, NJ hospitalizations are way down from the spring. Cases are levelling off, and Rt is declining.
hopefully the vaccine gets here to at least protect our Health care workers.
