they've stopped updating the state hospitalization statistics at the website i've been using to follow things, but this is the last series i have:

5/18	1,100	119	39	942	33,307	1,490	46
5/23	1,129	136	42	951	33,307	1,314	39
5/25	1,037	112	39	886	33,428	1,500	35
6/1	1,038	116	38	884	33,461	1,462	30
6/8	916	133	47	736	33,566	1,257	23
6/15	836	105	39	692	33,676	1,122	19
6/22	750	101	37	612	33,723	1,192	27
6/27	754	91	30	633	33,869	1,057	19

the newer variant is causing some more cases and the deaths are not as many, but it still a lot of extra people who may have lived a bit longer otherwise. all sad to me. i've been so busy with other things the past few months i've not been checking the stats much but i do check the news here or there for a few minutes (but i don't do much in depth) just to make sure newer variants don't catch me by surprise if they're indicated to be more dangerous.
