12 States Where COVID-19 Hospitalizations Increase Week
Life Health > Annuities
The number of adults hospitalized with COVID-19 symptoms in the week ending Aug. 25, the day before hospitals reported their most recent numbers to the U. S. Department of Disease Control and Prevention. In the U. S. , it reached 16,951.
This is well below the peak of about 147,000 recorded in mid-January 2022, but the most recent number of hospitalizations is about 17% higher than the number recorded a week earlier, and is 90% higher than the number recorded 4 weeks earlier, according to CDC data released Monday.
For a review of the 12 hardest-hit states, where the number of COVID-19-like hospitalizations has increased by at least 28. 5% in the past week, see the gallery above.
For Aug. 25, Aug. 18, and July 29 figures for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, see the chart below.
The number of COVID-19 cases, hospitalization rates and deaths are still well below what they have been for most of the era since about March 2020, when the pandemic began infecting large numbers of Americans.
Some public fitness experts have warned that Eris, the COVID-19 variant that now dominates knowledge about infections in the United States, or the new, highly mutated BA. 2. 86 variant would possibly be to blame for the recent surge. First lady Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, academics across much of the country are returning to school, and money professionals looking to craft plans that include life expectancy forecasts have yet to load more warnings and points of uncertainty into their jobs.
