The total appears to be approximately 4.5 million hospitalizations with no signs of the hospitalizations per unit time decreasing.

(1,350 hospitalizations / 100,000 people) × (330,000,000 people) = 4,455,000 hospitalizations

For the X axis - why and how did you choose the dates you did?

A count can’t be a rate. If you want to look for a slowdown why not post the rate instead of the count? Or fix the y axis label.

I would plot the derivative of this (e.g. daily or monthly hospitalizations) to make it easier to see the waves. Cumulative (of course) always goes up monotonically, and you have to visually look for higher-slope times to figure out when things are especially bad.
