Go back & read the article again, dumbshit.
Take your own advice you dumber than dog shit moron.
In New York City, the seven-day average of new COVID-19 hospitalizations per 100,000 people rose from 0.5 on Nov. 10 to 1.1 on Dec. 7, the New York State Department of Health said.
A hospitalization rate of .5 people per 100,000 population is a .000005 % rate of the population. The massive surge to 1.1 per 100K " doubles it" in media monkey speak anyway. I guarantee you that in that 100,000 populations rate they were a lot of sicker mother fuckers and probably a few drug overdoses there as well.
The only thing more amazing than a rate that low is that the media reports it and you sit their in front of the TV waiting for the news anchor to blow his load all over your face, and then try and support your take with a lame ass statistic like that. Unbelievable.
