covid

covid_hospital_admissions_weekly

Is COVID-19 rising in US hospitals?

An official reported hospital figure, not a model. It does not count community cases, tests or deaths. (cost: 1 credit)

drug

drug_overdose_deaths_12mo

How many people are dying of drug overdoses in the US? Returns CDC's provisional 12-month-ending count of drug overdose deaths, reported and predicted (adjusted for delayed reporting), for the US or one state, month by month with the change on a year earlier, from NCHS Vital Statistics Rapid Release. For journalists and policy staff tracking the fentanyl-era trend. Provisional and lagged by several months; no breakdown by drug here. (cost: 1 credit)

flu

flu_hospital_admissions_weekly

Returns weekly new hospital admissions for laboratory-confirmed influenza (adult and paediatric), patients currently in hospital and ICU, and the season-to-date total, nationally or for one state, from CDC's NHSN Weekly Hospital Respiratory Data.

rsv

rsv_hospital_admissions_weekly

Is RSV going around? Returns weekly new hospital admissions for laboratory-confirmed RSV, split into children and adults, plus patients in hospital and ICU and the season-to-date total, nationally or for one state, from CDC's NHSN Weekly Hospital Respiratory Data.
