September 29 to Nov 13 daily cases increased 5.8x from 173 to 1016. Hospitalization increased 3.5x from 58 to 206 and ICU increased 4.6x from 12 to 55.
March 4 to April 20 daily cases increased 4.3x from 402 to 1718. Hospitalization increased 1.9x from 211 to 396 and ICU increased 2.8x from 41 to 114.
July 1 to today cases increased 15.9x from 36 to 571. Hospitalization essentially stayed flat at 110 to 115 and ICU increased 12% from 33 to 37.
The second period shows the impact that vaccination had in the older population who were vaccinated early on. The third period shows the impact that vaccination has had across the general population (minus the younger kids.) It should be noted though that my period three is not exactly comparable to the other two because the other two start at a date where cases began to rise in those waves. I tried to keep the period duration consistent working back from today which took me to July 1. The better comparison would start around July 20 and go to early Sept but that is still 3 weeks out.

We’re at 152 in hospital not 115.
