Information about the data
The data is provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Hospitalization data represents a daily average of Covid-19 hospital patients in service areas that intersect with Shelby County. This area may be larger than Shelby County.
The number of hospital admissions per day shows the number of patients who tested positive for Covid. This is more reliable than case counts at this stage in the pandemic. Because of the lack of widespread testing, cases and test positivity are usually updated weekly. They are therefore less reliable than earlier pandemics. The virus's death toll is a slow but significant indicator.

Information about the data
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports the data on this page. The U.S. Census Bureau provides demographic and population data. Individual hospitals report hospitalization data to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It includes confirmed and suspected pediatric and adult patients.
Sometimes, governments revise data and report an increase in deaths or cases in a single day without indicating when they occurred. This can lead to irregular patterns in daily reported figures. C.D.C. As more data becomes available, the C.D.C. may update historical information. The difference in C.D.C. is measured by the 14-day change. Reporting periods that are more than two weeks apart can sometimes be 13 or 15 days apart due to holidays.
The C.D.C. did not report weekly county death and case data prior to January 2021. Sourced from The New York Times reporting.
