On April 28 the number of current hospitalizations went up by 207 from 336 to 544, but the cumulative hospitalizations only went up 41. See attached image.

Something doesn't add up.

Thanks for this @witj As of 4/27, WI started reporting people tested. Our Currently Hospitalized number reflects total COVID patients plus inpatients w. COVID tests pending. The Cumulative Hospitalized number is taken from https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/outbreaks/index.htm and only reflects confirmed hospitalized COVID patients.
