We're checking some hospitalization numbers before we officially publish the update. There is continued erratic reporting from some states.
Here’s what’s going on. As states switch from the long-established CDC system to the new HHS one, some hospitals appear to be having trouble reporting their numbers. That led both Texas and California to place advisories on their dashboards. 
With the incomplete data, both CA and TX reported significant drops in their number of hospitalizations. Based on existing trends, we believe this drop to be primarily an artifact of the reporting. We reverted both states to yesterday’s numbers as better indicators of reality.
We suspect this is happening in other states, too, where we’ve seen smaller dips in hospital reporting that may or may not fall within the normal range. We are not adjusting any hospitalization numbers for states that haven’t posted an advisory note that their numbers are flawed.
If you want more context about the hospitalization data situation, check out our weekly roundup in which we tackled this transitional period and how it's producing erratic, artificially deflated hospitalization data.
