I should note that this data from NY State reflects the number of people currently in the hospital *not* the number of admissions. So if hospital stays are shorter during Omicron, as in South Africa, that will be reflected in this data. — PolitiTweet.org

And this is probably best source for hospitalization data in NYC. Good and bad news. Bad news: they're growing fast, will keep growing. Good news: *relative to the number of cases* lagged by a week, hospitalizations about 5-6x lower than last winter. https://t.co/6zj13JUC1g https://t.co/Agj6XiFRcR — PolitiTweet.org

If you go by admissions rather than the # of people in the hospital, last winter was producing about 2.25x as many hospitalizations *per case* in NYC. That may be a better metric since it's a bit less lagging. Although, it won't reflect any benefit from shorter hospital stays. — PolitiTweet.org
