Well yeah, it's up, but it's not corresponding to the rise in positive cases. Florida was breaking records in early June and trend line of hospitalizations has been pretty stable.
The raw numbers are going to ebb and flow, that's why you look at the 7-day trend. The hospitalization 7-day trend is where it was back in April. Meanwhile, the number of positive cases trend is at an all-time high.
Florida hospital data is very convoluted for a reason, they are actively trying to paint a completely different picture than what is happening.
Cumulative COVID patients that were hospitalized on June 11: 11571
Cumulative COVID patients that were hospitalized on June 23: 13318
That's an increased of 1747 in 12 days.
Majority of the new cases have been in the last 8 days or so. So hospitalization won't be fully noticeable. The last 8 days have added more cases than the 3 weeks before that combined.
May 25-June 1 New Cases: 5084
June 2-8 New Cases: 8074
June 9-15 New Cases: 12422
June 16-23 New Cases: 26177
