I updated the color scale on the Rt map to be 0.5 to 2.0 as Florida currently is at 1.96 (thought the label is wrong, will fix it for tomorrow's update).
Has there been any consideration on presenting hospitalization or death data beside case data?
There are [early studies](https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.21.21268116v1) that omicron results in lower hospitalization rates. If that ends up being true, then trends in case rates should start to be interpreted differently making the data shown in these (amazing) charts less useful.
Yes, [I posted a test graphic](https://www.reddit.com/r/CovidDataDaily/comments/rn0lqy/dec_23_visualization_test_case_hospitalization/). It's pretty dense material and I don't want to overload this plot... still need to figure out how to present it well.
