This new chart focuses on the hospitalizations in Los Angeles County. The top line (solid orange) of COVID-19 patients currently hospitalized in the county looks to be decreasing gradually (over ten percent during the past week and a half). Let’s hope this trend continues on…

The light and dark orange columns show the current numbers of these patients in the ICU and on ventilators, respectively. Neither sets of these show any clear pattern of behaviour yet, hovering up and down within a few percentage points.

The pair of dashed lines show the number of new hospitalizations (orange) and deaths (dark grey) in the county each day. A three day moving average trend line for each is shown dotted in their corresponding colours. These are plotted here to see if any patterns or correlations develop over the coming days and weeks.
