## Tools (4)

- `covid_hospital_admissions_weekly`: Is COVID-19 rising in US hospitals? Returns weekly new hospital admissions for laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 (adult and paediatric), patients currently in hospital and ICU, the week-on-week change and the season-to-date total, nationally or for one state, from CDC's NHSN Weekly Hospital Respiratory Data. An official reported hospital figure, not a model. It does not count community cases, tests or deaths. (cost: 1 credit)
- `drug_overdose_deaths_12mo`: How many people are dying of drug overdoses in the US? Returns CDC's provisional 12-month-ending count of drug overdose deaths, reported and predicted (adjusted for delayed reporting), for the US or one state, month by month with the change on a year earlier, from NCHS Vital Statistics Rapid Release. For journalists and policy staff tracking the fentanyl-era trend. Provisional and lagged by several months; no breakdown by drug here. (cost: 1 credit)
- `flu_hospital_admissions_weekly`: How bad is flu season in US hospitals? Returns weekly new hospital admissions for laboratory-confirmed influenza (adult and paediatric), patients currently in hospital and ICU, and the season-to-date total, nationally or for one state, from CDC's NHSN Weekly Hospital Respiratory Data. For planners, parents and reporters tracking the season. Hospital data only: it does not count flu cases in the community or deaths. (cost: 1 credit)
- `rsv_hospital_admissions_weekly`: Is RSV going around? Returns weekly new hospital admissions for laboratory-confirmed RSV, split into children and adults, plus patients in hospital and ICU and the season-to-date total, nationally or for one state, from CDC's NHSN Weekly Hospital Respiratory Data. Useful for parents of infants, paediatric services and reporters each autumn and winter. Hospital data only; it does not count community infections. (cost: 1 credit)
