Hospitalization data - from PA's site

[Roger Day]

Hi, Franklin,
I'm grateful for this presentation of the Covid data. Especially now.

I notice today there is a great jump in cumulative hospitalization : 70.
Far more than recently. Do you think this is a correct data point? Scary.

But looking on the PA Covid site,
https://data.pa.gov/Covid-19/COVID-19-Aggregate-Hospitalizations-Current-Daily-/kayn-sjhx
I did the download and the hospitalization figures for Allegheny County are far higher.
And increasing but not with a sudden jump.

517 2021-08-24 224
518 2021-08-25 224

Can you help me understand what's going on?

Data dumps are known to happen now and then from the official Allegheny County emails. That's why I pay more attention to the daily-average trends than any one day of numbers. The real numbers should in principle be proportional to the case numbers, delayed.

Thanks... i expect the occasional massive dump from scattered previous days. But puzzled why PA's hospitalization numbers are so different.
