The difference between the changes in COVID-19 patients in hospital and new COVID-19 hospitalisations is really odd & I& #39;d be interested in any explanations anyone had. In the NW patients in hospital look to have grown near-exponentially yet hospitalisations look... pretty flat? https://twitter.com/BristOliver/status/1308085968117936139">https://twitter.com/BristOliv...
Please do not @ me with some stupid point about the use of the word "exponential". I promise I know what it means.
FWIW I think that *so far* the hospitalisations series has been much more robust with the in-hospital series subject to lots of revisions but my explanation for this is "??????????". I have no idea if this is still the case now.
