  1. Depends how you look at it. 17521 new cases and you can probably safely assume that for every one of those there's probably 2 people who avoided getting tests. Meanwhile only 523 hospitalized. Not a huge percentage. In earlier waves it would've been 5230 hospitalized. We are entering the endemic phase where, just like with the flu, we will have seasons where there will be massive case numbers but controllable hospital numbers.
