Daily hospitalizations down, hospital utilization flat-lining. Hispanics are now the highest %age. Ducey introduced increased testing in S. Phx, which is predominately hispanic.

Color me optimistic.

I hope you're right, but there seems to be a few caveats in the data sets:

• On confirmed cases by day, there is a note that cases in the last 4-7 days may not be recorded
• Under hospitalizations, it is noted that the status of 63% of cases are unknown
• Ventilator usage (which national studies seem to indicate ~80% mortality rate for usage in Covid19) is at an all time high

That said, it looks like the demographic data suggests that new infections may have peaked a bit after the time of the snowbird migration back north and that most of the infected are fairly young and in a relatively low risk population age range which would suggest lower mortality rates.
