More evidence re: FDA approval of Remdesivir on 10/22 affected hospitalization volume:

We aquired internal #covid19 treatment protocol for a large, multi-hospital regional healthcare system:

As of 11/3, Remdesivir is FIRST LINE treatment for patients hospitalized c/ C19...
This helps explain the recent increase in hospitalization numbers that are unmatched by either an increase in ICU census or increase in deaths, as illustrated by California C19 data, which shows a nadir in hospitalizations 2 days before FDA approval and subsequent increase...
The inclination to sow panic about hospitalization numbers increasing needs to be tempered w/ context regarding "Why?"

When there's only one FDA approved treatment, it requires hospitalization, and immidiately following approval, hospitalizations rise?

That's important context.
