I only monitor modifications to death data for the current year of 2022, but it's more than likely ones prior to 2022 get retroactively updated as well. (The most up to date data is reflected on my long term daily graphs though)

Daily hospitalizations and ICU

Average monthly hospitalizations compared year over year. August's average now includes up until August 29th so it's becoming a more accurate reflection. The numbers this month are much more comparable to September last year than August of 2021.

Average monthly ICU patients compared year over year. August's average now includes up until August 29th so it's becoming a more accurate reflection.

Actual number of deaths per month, year over year. After this week, this month now has more deaths than last month, and more than both August 2021 and 2020. But other than January, this year has had more deaths every month than other years.

Hope this helps.
