The Feds are renewing the COVID-19 hospitalization reporting requirement effective Nov 1 despite an actually lower current infection peak than in previous years

 I couldn't believe it when I saw it, but it's true.

The pandemic emergency ended in May 2023.

Required reporting of hospitalizations expired in April 2024, after which "The number of hospitals regularly reporting data decreased by nearly two thirds." 

Are the Feds preparing for the general?
