COViD-19 data from Shelby County, Metro Memphis and Tennessee from The University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC): https://uthsc.edu/coronavirus/local-data/
From the UTHSC site:
All people who get hospitalized because of the coronavirus are very sick. It is very important that a hospital has the capacity to take care of them (i.e. enough beds or ventilators). The figure shows how many people are in any of our hospitals because of a coronavirus infection (dark blue bars). The hospitals and the Shelby County Health Department are also reporting the number of people “under investigation for the virus”. When a hospital takes a COVID-19 test, the patient is “under investigation” until the test result is completed.
Some tests are done because the patient has symptoms or has been in contact with someone who has the virus. Other tests are done to make sure that the patient is free of the virus – for example, a patient needs to test free of the virus to be admitted into a rehabilitation facility. All these patients are “under investigation” until their test result is known. Only some of these patients will turn out to have the virus.
The estimate of the persons who may have the virus from those who are under investigation is seen in the light blue bars (not included after April 30 because test results are now coming back soon after the test). The red line across the bars shows moving averages based on the past 7 days. This is a way to remove some of the day-to-day changes over time and make it easier to follow the development over time. The dashed line to the right with a darker and a lighter shaded area extends into the future and shows what the data from the past 14 days “suggest” as a development for the next 14 days.
