In the University of Minnesota data, here's where we've been so far in March 2021:
3/01: 49,471
3/09: 38,651
3/15: 35,611
3/16: 32,009
3/22: 34,522
3/29: 35,980.
The lows in 2020 coincided with the seasonal changes. We were at about 25k hospitalized both in June and September 2020 at the approach of astronomical summer and fall, respectively. We are at about 10k higher than that with the advent of spring 2021.
Cases in North America, South America, and Europe are troublingly on the rise.
