I've been following the State Dept. of Health COVID-19 case numbers for weeks now. The number is up close to 6,000 confirmed cases. That number is just going to get bigger forever. I've been wondering why they aren't reporting the number of people that are currently sick? Even an estimate would be better than nothing and much more useful than an ever escalating confirmed cases number.

Most places are quoting confirmed cases, confirmed recoveries and deaths.

The only figure I look at is the new cases daily vs tested daily.

Is there a key for that? Pink bars are...?

Most useful information I've found so far is a chart showing that there are just over 600 confirmed cases currently hospitalized. Seems like more than half of the reported cases would be over it by now.
