The COVID Tracking Project is a volunteer organization launched from
The Atlantic and dedicated to collecting and publishing the data
required to understand the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States.
Every day, we collect
data on COVID-19 testing and patient outcomes from all 50 states, 5 territories, and the District of Columbia. Our dataset is currently in use by national and local news organizations across the United States and by research projects and agencies worldwide. Our data API (which allows sites and apps to import our dataset automatically) receives about two million requests per day.
On April 15, we
launched the COVID Racial Data Tracker, a partnership between the COVID Tracking Project and the
Center for Antiracist Research that collects, publishes, and analyzes racial data on the pandemic within the United States.
Wow, that might make sense if that were actually the data you were using moron. Here, let me help you by quoting from the link you provided:
“This dataset is a big deal—especially now, when hospitals are under unprecedented strain across the nation. This new HHS data, which includes counts of incoming COVID-19 patients, calculations on how many beds are available, and other hospital-related metrics
by facility, allows us to see where COVID-19 is hitting healthcare systems the hardest. It’s also robust in ways that many other datasets aren’t; although counts of cases, tests, and deaths fluctuate around
weekends and holidays, hospital workers never take a day off, and neither does their data.
As of December 10, The COVID Tracking Project counted over 107,000 Americans in the hospital with COVID-19, nearly 80 percent higher than at any previous time in the pandemic. This record level of hospitalizations is clearly alarming, but the strain on hospitals does not neatly map to state borders; hospital capacity is local, and state-level data can mask crucial problems in areas with few hospitals or surging outbreaks.”
Not only does the entity that you are misrepresenting say that this is an unprecedented time of crisis, it also explains why whatever-the-fuck charts that “average” out ICU usage by state and the country ad a whole are complete and utter bullshit in terms of explaining the problem.
Are you ready to admit that 340,000 people have died and another 3,000 a day, and that there are 107,000 people in hospitals right f**king now due to Covid? And that this is putting unprecedented strain on hospitals, just as the entity you claim to be citing says? Or do you need to go back to your Qanon master for further instructions now that your most recent b.s. had been exposed?
