Yes, I thought the same thing in finding it easier on my eyes/quick perception of the site. I do think the UK and some other countries do a better job of presenting data compared to the CDC. It's pretty much agreed that the rate of unvaccinated people vs. vaccinated people winding up in hospital beds is several times higher, however, all the CDC data presented is only rates. I want tallies or counts, and I cannot find them. For instance, on Ontario, Candada's site[1], the vaccinated are 74% vs. the unvaccinated's 26% of COVID hospitalizations. Most non-technical people think the hospitalizations of COVID patients is like over 90%. It's because more and more people are vaccinated, even with a lower rate of hospitalizations, the numbers are higher. Also, it's interesting to see on the Ontario site that COVID hospitalizations consist of 56% directly for COVID, and 44% were admitted for other reasons and then tested positive for COVID once hospitalized. The case is more telling for ICU with 81% admitted for COVID, and 19% for other reasons. I am trying to play with raw data more for refreshing my munging skills than making a point or fodder to add to the COVID noise. I have been coding since 1978, played with neural nets, GAs, and GP in the late 1980s, but I don't code or do data analysis for a living right now (other than buisness strategy reports that require some basic analysis). There's a lot of data out there, and it can get very confusing. I am back to using R/RStudio from a brief stint using Julia/Pluto notebooks and previously using Python/Jupyter notebooks. I even did a toy DSEIR model in J back in April 2020 based on previous work by a couple of people, which I plan on updating to April[2]. I am going to try and do some Lisp work, and I think I will settle on RStudio and Lisp for more genomic/bioinformatic stuff (yes, I know biolisp has been supplanted by python, however, Lisp is having a renaissance in symbolic-related areas of ML again like NLP). BTW, in what language was GPT implemented, not API languages, but what PL(s) was used to create the code - C++, Java, Go? I may be bad at navigating the CDC website, but I can't seem to get the dataset of numbers of hospitalizations by vaccination status, only rates or pre-filtered data. I do remember downloading raw data that seemed to have it (over 1.8gb, I think), but I can't seem to find it. I'd appreciate a link if anyone has it.
