The question will be suspended on 30 March 2024 and the outcome determined using data as reported by the CDC once data for the week ending 30 March 2024 are first released (CDC). Once data for a specific week have been reported for four weeks, any subsequent revisions to the data would be immaterial for the purposes of resolution (e.g., any revisions to the data for the week ending 22 July 2023 made after the reporting for the week ending 19 August 2023 would be immaterial). If the named source changes the way it presents the data, we will make the appropriate modifications to the resolution instructions. As of the launch of this question, the CDC reported 6,480 COVID-19 new hospital admissions for the week ending 1 July 2023.
