COVID Hospitalizations Continue to Rise Despite Overall Cases Remaining Low

COVID Hospitalizations Continue to Rise , Despite Overall Cases Remaining Low.

ABC reports that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has warned that hospitalizations due to COVID-19 continue to increase in the United States.

As of the week ending August 5, the number of hospitalizations increased 14.3% from 9,026 to 10,320.

ABC reports that despite the double-digit percentage jump, the absolute number of hospitalizations remains quite low.

In January 2022, amid a surge of the Omicron variant, weekly hospitalizations peaked at 150,674.

We have to remember that we're still dealing with numbers that are far less than what we've seen for the pandemic, Dr. John Brownstein, epidemiologist and chief innovation officer at Boston Children's Hospital, via ABC.

We have to zoom out to look at our experience for the entire pandemic, to understand that what we're dealing with now is far from any crisis that we've experienced with previous waves, Dr. John Brownstein, epidemiologist and chief innovation officer at Boston Children's Hospital, via ABC.

ABC reports that deaths from COVID also increased slightly in July.

Proportionately, it makes sense that when you have increased transmission, you will see proportionately some increase in hospitalizations, and you will see some increase in deaths, Dr. John Brownstein, epidemiologist and chief innovation officer at Boston Children's Hospital, via ABC.

But there's a decoupling that is happening between cases and hospitalizations, where a jump in cases doesn't necessarily mean as big a jump in hospitalizations and deaths, Dr. John Brownstein, epidemiologist and chief innovation officer at Boston Children's Hospital, via ABC.

ABC reports that all subvariants currently in circulation are related to XBB, an offshoot of Omicron.

.

According to the CDC, the latest EG.5 variant now makes up approximately 17% of all new cases.

Trump’s Shocking Overhaul:10,000 Health Workers Fired, Unions Stripped of Power-What It Means for US

Donald Trump: Mass layoffs have rocked the U.S. Health and Human Services Department (HHS) as up to 10,000 employees face termination under a sweeping restructuring plan ordered by Donald Trump. The move follows an executive order stripping collective bargaining rights from federal health agencies, sparking outrage among Democratic lawmakers and unions. Key agencies affected include the FDA, CDC, NIH, and CMS, with major cuts in healthcare oversight, medical research, and public health funding. Critics warn of a devastating impact on disease prevention, pandemic response, and federal healthcare programs.

Trump's Crackdown On LGBTQI+ Comes Into Effect | CDC Websites, Data Taken Down Amid Executive Orders

Several U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) websites and datasets related to HIV, LGBTQ issues, youth health behaviors, and more were removed following an executive order from President Donald Trump. The order mandates the elimination of federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and directs the government to recognize only two sexes: male and female. A memo from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, issued on January 29, instructs federal agencies to remove “all outward-facing media,” including websites and social media accounts, that promote or reflect gender ideology by 5 p.m. Friday. #trump #donaldtrump #trumpexecutiveorders #lgbtqi+ #lgbt #Gay #Lesbian #usGays #usnews Also Read Marco Rubio Highlights Trump's Genuine Interest in Greenland and Panama Canal Due to China Threats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/rubio-trump-greenland-panama-canal-china-concerns-011-4058145.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Controversial Claims Linking Diversity Hiring to DC Plane Crash Under Scrutiny :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-blames-dei-for-dc-plane-crash-011-4058133.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Freezes Federal Funding, Creating Confusion Across US Government Agencies :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-orders-federal-funding-freeze-us-government-panic-011-4056039.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.102~
