Hospitalizations
We also looked at the number of individuals hospitalized from COVID-19 over the same time period.
The highest numbers of hospitalizations came this past November (2021) with as many as 70 people in the hospital by month’s end. The 2nd highest month was in December (2020) reaching 65 individuals. In January, the numbers started to decline with that trend continuing in February. The first half of March saw numbers in the single digits, although the latter half of the month saw the number increase to 16 people in the hospital on any given day. It seemed to be like a bell curve in April where numbers increased to as high as 24 people and then decreased to 8 by month’s end. In May, the numbers did not reach higher than 15 and would remain that way until late August when, at most, 24 people were hospitalized. September and October would see the hospitalization numbers at Butler Memorial increase to as many as 50 people in September and 53 in October. The highest number this December (2021) was 59 individuals hospitalized.
