COVID-19 reaches high level. Hospitalization, emergency visits, deaths go up. What have CDC data revealed? - Published July 3, 2024
Large swathes of the US are not only witnessing the spread of COVID-19, the pandemic has reached an alarming level.
The data collected from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has indicated that the spread of the disease has officially reached high levels across western U.S. states.
Consequently, the numbers for emergency room admissions and deaths have gone up considerably.
Quoting the CDC data, 'USA Today' has said that the emergency department visits have increased 23% while the weekly emergency room visits diagnosed as COVID-19 is at 0.9%.
According to the CDC, Hawaii has registered a substantial rise in the number of people diagnosed with COVID-19, however, Arizona, New Mexico, Florida and Washington have comparatively less number of such people.
There is an increase in COVID-19-related hospitalizations, but the number of deaths has gone up 14%.
However, the CDC announced last week that COVID-19 cases are likely declining in Hawaii after weeks of going up.
It also expressed hope that the emergency room visits across the regions spanning Hawaii through Arizona may reach a plateau.
The data gleaned from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have also shown hundreds of deaths, compared with more than 2,000 deaths on average each week in late December and January.
However, it is much less compared to 2021 when the Omicron variant dominated these cases with weekly averages reaching 20,000 deaths.
Talking to CBS News, Dr. William Schaffner, professor at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine said that summer is back and the summer bump of COVID cases is apprehended.
He added that the country witnessed a COVID bump in the summer, and then it went down in the fall, and then again went up more substantially in the winter.
According to the CDC data, emergency department visits have increased by 23% while the weekly emergency room visits diagnosed as COVID-19 is at 0.9%.
Hawaii has registered a substantial rise in the number of people diagnosed with COVID-19.
The number of COVID-19-related cases goes up during summer while it goes down in the fall and goes up again in winter.
This sudden rise in COVID-19 cases during summer is called the COVID bump. Werid how it was "waves" in 2020 and 2021, then it was "surges" in 2022, then it was "upticks" in 2023, and now it's "bumps" in 2024. I wonder if there's any scientific reasoning behind this intriguing nomenclature
