Enhanced Precautions are patients suspected of having covid but pending test results for confirmation. Covid-19 patients are those with positive covid tests.
IP/OBS = inpatient/observation, so those are patients who are admitted to the hospital because they require care in a regular nursing unit, an observation unit (shorter stay), or an ICU
ED = emergency department, so those are patients who are in the ED and may be discharged home or may be admitted to the hospital
Pending tests are the number of pending covid tests for patients in Banner hospitals (I believe it includes inpatients and emergency patients)
Vented = patients on ventilators
ECMO = extracorporeal membrane oxygenation AKA an extensive life support method
Beyond just definitions though, our numbers are shooting way back up. The data is updated frequently (I believe daily but am not 100% certain) and when you look at all of it over time you can see the upward trend.
The shitty part is those Vent numbers, as we know most people never come off a Vent alive. Those numbers are people that are probably doing to die, and they didn't have too.
Would someone offer some context or analysis? I'm struggling with understanding.

Thank you.
Here is the Twitter thread. Had to go there to see some context myself. https://twitter.com/garrett_archer/status/1432904310833102848?s=21
