The first graph is completely wrong. New York pediatric hospital reporting has not fallen, and NY pediatric new admissions have increased only very little. https://healthdata.gov/Hospital/COVID-19-Reported-Patient-Impact-and-Hospital-Capa/g62h-syeh https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#new-hospital-admissions In the second graph, the test positivity graph is misleading, because it is only based on 54 total tests.
