If they kept as accurate of numbers of people who had the flu each year it would be far worse than this virus. Also many people die from the flu! I still believe this virus has been over played and used as a political ploy. People should be aware by now of how much power the government has over us.

Now it's at 107, a decline of about 60 %. This decline in hospitalizations is in spite of new admissions with the virus. So that means the number of people getting sick is dropping as fast or faster than the number of people who are getting discharged from the hospital. If people were getting sick at the same rate as the people getting discharged, the numbers would be nearly constant. And I don't think people would suddenly start getting better at a faster rate... so there's that. Based on other records William has posted here, the max number of cases was 246 on July 20th.
