I disagree. In order for a hospitalization to count, they have to have a positive test. First, we have to factor in test inaccuracy and then the fact that doctors are still triaging tests even if a patient has symptoms. These numbers can't be considered accurate until we have enough tests to test everyone in the waiting room indiscriminately.

We have enough tests to cover people who are candidates for ventilators or have similarly severe symptoms. That’s still a lagging indicator, but not nearly as delayed as deaths.
