Maybe some room for optimism, or just a lull before the next storm?
The chart shows daily number of hospitalization in Orange County. There was definitely a huge spike starting in mid-November, but the rate of increase is trending down again. If I was optimistic, then it looks like the “second wave” is behind us with better days ahead. More likely however, the current spike is from careless people gathering during Thanksgiving, and an even bigger spike is coming for Christmas/New Years. With the hospital out of ICU beds and just full in general, a bigger spike in patients needing hospitalization will just mean more dead people. There’s a lot of hope and expectation placed on the new vaccines.
