So, Delaware County has triggered indicator #6, 'increase' in new hospital admissions again.

Let's take a look, shall we?

Please look at the above graphic showing indicator #6 and a spreadsheet showing the 'hospitalizations.' First, note that this graph is a 7 day moving average. Each point represents 7 full days all averaged together. In order to have a value of '0' it's not just one day with 0.

It's at least 7. And on this graph, we see that there were 11 days without a single hospitalization from 4/2 and 4/11 there were 0 hospitalizations. And then again, there have been NO HOSPITALIZATIONS since 4/16.

Below the graph, please examine the spreadsheet. These are the exact hospitalizations that are represented in this graph. All 11 of them that have occurred over 4 full weeks.

Two (yellow) have 'onset' on date of admission, almost certainly people who had no symptoms, but tested positive while being admitted for another reason.
Two (orange) have an 'onset' ~1 month before hosp. Again, this is not indicative of a hospitalization for a respiratory virus.

One in red is, again, the nonsense of an 'unknown' date of hospital admission, while the other is of a 0-19 year old that was admitted to the hospital on 4/13, but did not have 'onset' until 13 days later. Again, this child was clearly not hospitalized for COVID-19.

⭐️⭐️⭐️Let it sink in - this county has over 200,000 residents and has had 5 potentially legitimate hospitalizations for COVID-19.

That's it.

There is no more state of emergency.
