Discharged from hospital. We saw a 2,091 person decrease in the number of people hospitalized in the US with Covid-19 over the last week, the first decline since September 23rd. Just four days ago there was a 7,167 person weekly increase and since then the number has declined gradually. While the decrease is broad-based (31 of 51 states+DC), the decline in weekly change of course is dominated by, FL, GA, NY and TX. Further, inspection shows continued improvement in the fall outbreak states (mainly in the Midwest) and stabilization in some of the worst more recent winter outbreaks, such as in Los Angeles County that saw a weekly decline of 221 after having peaked at an increase of 1,612 on December 22nd.
