Rising COVID-19 case numbers and hospitalizations likely mean we're in a new phase of the pandemic.
May 10, 2022 -- Rising COVID-19 case numbers and hospitalizations likely mean we're in a new phase of the pandemic. And the number of Americans dying from COVID-19 is also anticipated to grow, although the surge in the short term is not expected to look like previous waves.
Dowdy predicted death rates will also rise. Those numbers typically follow hospitalization rates by a few weeks,"but we're not going to see them skyrocket," he said. Although good news for most, he added,"What this means is that for people who are still unvaccinated, don't have that immunity built up, or who have weakened immune systems, this virus is still a very dangerous and deadly one."
"None of them are perfect, but when they're all trending up together, we can get a sense that there's a new wave coming," Dowdy said.Sometimes people in the same household experience the pandemic differently, ranging from not getting sick to mild or even severe disease. He said there are indicators that the level of coronavirus transmission in the U.S. now is about the same as we experienced during the Delta wave and almost as high as the surge during the first winter of the pandemic.
