For weeks I have been confused by the hospitlization data being presented and would like an answer on why it isn't adding up. There is a published chart showing COVID19 discharges per day, new hospitalizations, and total hospitalizations. How I would interpret it is that (New hospitalizations)-(Discharges)= Increase/decrease in total hospitalizations.

Using 06 May for example, there were 27 new hospitalizations - 72 discharged patients = a reduction of 45 total patients hospitalized. However, on 06 May, your data shows an increase in total hospitalized patients. Pretty much everyday for the last 2 weeks has this same "issue" where the discharged number is higher than the newly hospitalized but somehow the total hospitalized increases. Maybe I am interpreting the data wrong but if I am, possibly the legend for the data should include what the numbers actually refer to.

Thanks,
Patrick
