@nogenderid @TexasObserver Oh yes. Some did not know they were doing it, as Vermont admitted in a press conference @EPetenko reported on, after @asuozzo asked about it. -@alexismadrigal

The number of hospitalized COVID-19 cases is falling nearly everywhere in the country. (Among the outliers: Hawaii and Vermont numbers are quite small, and Kansas's data regularly bounces around.) https://t.co/eua8mQaWqF

This decline in cases is borne out by drops in hospitalizations across the country. Only VT saw COVID-19 hospitalizations increase this week—from 46 to 47 patients, which was an increase of 2%. https://t.co/8g4FC3Dviy
