Approximately 5,798 U. S. citizens between the ages of 20 and 59 visited the hospital with COVID-19 cases shown in the week ending Wednesday, Dec. 7, up 38% than the number of other people admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 in the week. ending Wednesday, Nov. 7. 9, according to hospitalization data from the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. U. S.
For all adults, the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations increased by 24. 5% to 62,009.

Everyone needs to get back to normal, but the mortality and longevity estimates that financial professionals use in a wide variety of insurance activities and retirement plans can still be fragile.
In the quarter ending Sept. 30, for example, the overall U. S. death rate was a death toll. The U. S. population for others ages 25 to 64 was still around 11% compared to the years before the COVID-19 pandemic began.
States and hospitals are slow to send information about COVID-19 to CDC. This makes it difficult to use the last week’s COVID-19 numbers.
The COVID-19 hospitalization figures from early December translate to a hospitalization rate of about 19 consistent with 100,000 for all U. S. citizens and a rate of about five consistent with 100,000 for adults in the 20-59 age group.
The backlog of COVID-19 deaths tends to lag behind the backlog of hospitalizations, and the existing number of COVID-19 deaths in the U. S. The U. S. economy is still well below what the summer’s modest increase was.
CDC data on the effects of infectious diseases, such as influenza, are more limited.
A primary respiratory disease follow-up program, the U. S. Outpatient Influenza-Like Illness Surveillance Network, the U. S. Influenza Disease Surveillance Network. In the U. S. , it replaced its definitions of influenza-like illness in October 2021. It is difficult to use ILINet’s knowledge to make comparisons year after year.
But the flu information collection effort, the Flu Hospitalization Surveillance Network’s Influenza Hospitalization Tracking Program, shows that it’s already a terrible flu season.
The Flu Hospitalization Tracking Program, which collects information from hospitals in about 70 counties in 10 states, says the rate of flu hospitalizations has risen to 26 according to 100,000 U. S. residents. In the U. S. , at a typical flu hospitalization rate of less than 3 hospitalizations per 100,000 residents.
Flu hospitalization rates in early December are about thirteen, equivalent to 100,000 for U. S. adults ages 18 to 49 years and older, and about 26 consistent with 100,000 for U. S. adults ages 50 to 64 years and older.
The flu numbers mean that, right now, the flu appears to be causing more severe illness than COVID-19, and a much higher rate of severe illness than the flu itself has caused in recent years. The transmission of COVID-19 and the effect of influenza on other working-age persons is complicated by the lack of detailed and complete information on influenza hospitalizations.
Statewide, changes in the percentage of working-age COVID-19 hospitalizations between early November and early December ranged from a low of about 29% in Vermont to a 375% increase in New England.
The number of working-age hospitalizations rose to more than 10 in the remaining six states.
The CDC’s flu tracking map shows flu activity is at a peak or very high in the peak states of Alaska, Hawaii, Michigan, West Virginia, and Vermont, and is primarily in California and Texas, two states that are experiencing a COVID-19 hospitalizations.
