#CoronaVirusUpdates #RhodeIsland

Have a look at the recent surge in #Hospitalizations among children (< 18 years old age group; colored yellow)

BA.2 is the most dominant circulating lineage in #RhodeIsland
My hospital tracking tool didn't pick it up (data from HHS). Got to investigate this further.. that surge from @nytimes data chart looks unreal

Here's the @CDCgov #Hospitalization tracker (pulls data from HHS) - covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…
Here's the hospitalizations tracker from @RIHEALTH
…hospital-data-rihealth.hub.arcgis.com/#age
Only @nyitimes tracker shows this sudden uptick in pediatric hospitalizations (could be a data glitch)
Reported it to the @nytimes corrections- to recheck data | will update as soon as I receive a response
Looks like @nytimes found the glitch and fixed it.
