There is a lot of talk right now about Alabama being in bad shape right now. What's the truth?
Case rate has risen, but as you said, hospitalization rates have remained relatively flat?
Are we looking at a bleak next couple of weeks, and should we start really worrying as a state?
I don't think the numbers/trends over the past week are encouraging. While the state's hospitalization rate has remained flat, Tuscaloosa's doubled in one week. That may end up being an anomaly, but it's something to keep an eye on. And Montgomery's ICU's have at least been close to capacity for a week now.
Are we in bad shape? Maybe comparatively to other states, but I don't think the situation is dire statewide. But there are some concerning trends to keep an eye on.

This is where I'm at as well. Rt has gone back above 1 as well. It is back to 3/31 levels.
I also read that when compared to states who are doing similar levels of testing, we are returning a higher percentage positive. I don't think this is anywhere close to doomsday, but certainly worth keeping an eye on.
