This function takes in a hospitalization data source and a forecast date and generates a dataframe with state-level hospitalizations from all time points as of that forecast date. If the vintaged data available as of a forecast date already exists, it pulls from that, otherwise it pulls from hosp data source and saves the file.
Usage
get_state_level_hosp_data(
hosp_data_source,
forecast_date,
hosp_data_dir,
population_data_path,
pull_from_local = FALSE

- hosp_data_dir
if pulling from local, which directory to search for datestamped hospitalization data
