“Across Michigan, which is experiencing by far the country’s most dangerous outbreak, more younger people are being admitted to hospitals with the coronavirus than at any other time in the pandemic. Michigan hospitals are now admitting about twice as many coronavirus patients in their 30s and 40s as they were during the fall peak, according to the Michigan Health & Hospital Association.
”
Michigan’s surge in sick younger people filling up the Covid-19 wards across the state could be a harbinger for things to come in other locales very soon. As vaccinations begin to slow, public health officials must devise new innovative techniques and branding to encourage as many people to get vaccinated as possible. If fewer than 80% of the population gets vaccinated then the Coronavirus will still run rampant and continue mutating into variants that may evade the current vaccines. That could put us back to square one.
