US breaks 100K COVID-19 hospitalizations threshold for first time since January

The United States now has more than 100,000 people hospitalized with coronavirus across the country for the first time since January, according to a new report.

On Thursday, The Washington Post noted that hospitalization rates are highest in the southeastern United States, including Florida, where 17,000 people are hospitalized, and Texas, where another 14,000 are receiving care.

Citing its own coronavirus database, the Post reported 2,100 children have been hospitalized nationally this month, topping 2,000 for the first time since August 2020.

The newspaper added that about 148,000 new cases are being reported nationwide each day, a figure also not seen since January.

We're closing in on 1,000 deaths a day n average again, I used to think that would be as bad as this wave gets, now it looks like 2,000 a day is assured, and 3,000 a day is now possible again.

And this Fall, the northern states will start to see spikes again.

Covid might never end.
