Possible some LA county hospitals I'm not aware of are still spiking. But from what I'm seeing and hearing, last week seemed like we were still rising. This past week, hospitalizations have been trending down, and ICU flat. I've been hearing that "Here comes the sun" song a lot recently on the overhead. Perhaps hospitalizations are indeed rising, but because of younger cohort/better therapy they are also being discharged quicker than earlier. Not sure how well that is reflected in the county data, which I truthfully have not been following closely.
