By all means, I’d love to see your data.
Not sure why you’d bring anecdotes into this?
Because the government intentionally stopped counting Covid cases, and asked hospitals to stop reporting data. Outside of waste treatment data, anecdotal data is sometimes the best we can get.
I literally work in healthcare. I’ve seen our patient data. There’s no COVID increase. If there is, it’s super mild and people aren’t being hospitalized.
Now we have one anecdote against another… uh oh?
Which state?

Please try to understand statistics before you cite them.
If we had 1 case yesterday and 3 today, we are certainly trending up, yes. I 100% agree that COVID cases are increasing because they ALWAYS will in the winter. Forever.
Edit: also, for the hundredth time, none of this says the cases are severe. You have shown zero evidence about severity.
Moving the goalpost. Check your comment up top. You claimed no increase.
Sorry, I think you might be confused or perhaps replying to the wrong person. I have consistently stated that there was no increase in SEVERE CASES.
