Covid Hospitalizations On The Rise.

“During that time frame, Michigan’s covid hospitalizations rose by nearly 1,900, CDC data shows, marking the highest figure for a single state. Hospitalizations also went up by more than 1,400 patients each in Ohio and Pennsylvania and by more than 900 in Indiana. The four states, which have some of the highest per capita current hospitalization numbers in the United States, are responsible for almost half of the country’s increase in covid hospitalizations between Nov. 10 and Dec. 5.”
Unfortunately, Covid-19 hospitalizations are increasing because of surges that are happening in the upper Midwest and largely driven by the unvaccinated. The nation may be in for a very long Winter with the dreams of a Covid free world a distant thought. Americans have eschewed new lockdowns and restrictions while Europe is taking the opposite approach with strict quarantine rules governing the unvaccinated. By the Spring the World will know which approach was better at corralling the virus.
