After holiday disruptions, our core metrics stabilize at different rates. We believe the bulk of holiday-related case and death backlogs have been reported, but that we're only now seeing a lot of the test backlogs, hence today's new 7-day average record.

That said, there are still more than 2x the number of hospitalized patients now as during previous surges. pic.twitter.com/orFsI4F1c1
