TheVoiceOfJoyce Publicly it’s stated, we’re over Covid. Not true, Covid is not done with us. Very few have taken the Bivalent booster and those over 65 continue to be hospitalized along kids under 4 yrs of age. Hospitals are overburdened. The nursing staff has decreased by 300,000 and deaths are now climbing to 3700 per week. More people have died from Covid in America, then any other Country. We don’t have to die from Covid: the 3 Vaccines work, masks work, social distancing and proper ventilation work. If you get sick, take Paxlovid or Remdesivir and avoid hospitalization. We don’t know the long term outcome of being sick with Covid many times, we do know health deteriorates. Don’t get sick, get your Vaccines and stay well.

“Hospitals are at maximum capacity,” said Brendan Williams, president and CEO of the New Hampshire Health Care Association, of his region’s current rates. “I’m not sure what the trajectory of this thing’s going to be, but I am worried.”

The majority of Covid hospitalizations are among those 65 and older, although the share for children under four roughly doubled in 2022.

In the past week, Covid deaths rose by 44%, from 2,705 in the week ending 4 January to 3,907 in the week ending 11 January.

This is one of the greatest surges of Covid cases in the entire pandemic, according to wastewater analyses of the virus. It’s much lower than the peak in January 2022, but similar to the summer 2022 surge, which was the second biggest.

And it’s not done yet. “Certainly it does not appear that we are peaking yet,” Sehgal said.

The Omicron subvariants BQ.1.1 and BQ.1 as well as the quickly expanding XBB.1.5 make up the majority of cases, according to CDC estimates. The north-east, where more than 80% of cases are estimated to be from the XBB.1.5 subvariant, has the highest proportion of cases, according to wastewater data.
