Teejers, be sure to reread the above message, I edited apparently after you read it.
I wonder if you have an old, cached main page or something like that.
The main page I see has Cumulative & New Cases, Cumulative & New Deaths, and Current & New Hospitalizations at the top (no more graphs).
Further down is "Table of Contents" with links below. The link you give is not there.
[quote]Table of Contents
Don't want to belabor thread, so I'll try and be brief:
1. On capacity, the old dashboard presented color-coded bar graphs which showed total acute beds available, total in use, and total used by Covid patients (same for ICU beds).
I could not find similar information in the new site - certainly not presented in tidy, easy-to-understand, color graphs. And nothing in your post suggests it's there. I agree that the current board shows percentage of Covid patients occupying various beds, but it does not tell you how much capacity remains (unused beds) . . . does it? I think it is also useful to know what percentage of beds in use are occupied by Covid patients versus other patients.
2. On LTCF, I agree numbers are opaque. I don't even know what the passage you quoted - "Hospitalization is only determined at the time a case was reported to us and do not represent patients that are currently or ever hospitalized" - even means. Do you? I mean, a case is reported (as what? must be a hospitalization, no?, given that it is in this section of dashboard) but that does not represent patients that are currently or ever were hospitalized? WTH???
Again, I think it would be very useful to know the number (and percentage) of those hospitalized are attributable to LTCFs. Not sure why those figures are so elusive.
