Over time the system stabilized and I could automate the process, handing it over to others. My automated stats still run daily, even today.
We also relied heavily on state and national stats as a way to compare our local numbers to get a sense of what was coming in the weeks ahead and I sorely miss having those resources. 2/4

@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes We do much less testing now but still saw a positivity rate hit 15% couple weeks ago. This is similar to last December and even previous summers and winters. Not as bad as the pre-vaccine days of 30-50% positive rates though. Locally, we *still* have a percentage of our inpatients that test positive and these patients require additional consideration in terms of isolation and other resources (even though only a portion of them are in *due to* COVID). 3/4
