About the data Data is from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Since the The number of daily hospital admissions shows how many patients tested positive for Covid in hospitals and is one of the most reliably reported indicators of Covid’s impact on a community. Age data can show how much of the vulnerable senior population is being affected by the virus. Reported hospitalizations, deaths and other trends by county This table is sorted by places with the most Covid hospital admissions per 100,000 residents in the last seven days. County-level hospitalization data is for all hospital service areas that intersect with a county. Because data on deaths is reported slowly, the table shows data from the most recent dates with meaningful figures. Charts show a 14-day change and each is on its own scale. How trends have changed in New Jersey The number of Covid patients in hospitals is an indicator of Covid’s ongoing impact on hospitals and I.C.U.s. Test positivity rates are reported less consistently, but can show how infections are trending. Deaths are a lagging but important ongoing indicator of the virus’s toll.

Studies have found that the strain is capable of evading antibodies from previous COVID infections or vaccinations. Twitter Due to your consent preferences, you’re not able to view this. Concern about XBB.1.5 is largely based on how it is currently spreading in the US and it has not been listed as a variant of concern by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). Some 4% of all UK COVID cases were of the XBB 1.5 variant, figures from Cambridge's Sanger Institute show for the week to Saturday 17 December. 'A wake-up call' Dr Meera Chand, director of clinical and emerging infection at the UKHSA, said: "It is not unexpected to see new variants of SARS-CoV-2 emerge. UKHSA is monitoring the situation closely, as always. "Vaccination remains our best defence against future COVID-19 waves, so it is still as important as ever that people come take up all the doses for which they are eligible as soon as possible." But Professor Lawrence Young, a virologist at Warwick University, said the new strain is a "wake-up call" and could exacerbate the He told Mail Online: "We don't know how this variant is going to behave in the UK in a population that has been previously exposed to other Omicron variants and where many of the over 50s have had booster shots with a bivalent vaccine.

Just the FAQs, USA TODAY The Essentially, everyone in the country is at risk for infection now, even if they're super careful, up to date on vaccines, or have caught it before, said Paula Cannon, a virologist at the University of Southern California. "It's crazy infectious," said Cannon, who is recovering from her first case of COVID-19, caught when she was vacationing over the holidays in her native Britain. "All the things that have protected you for the past couple of years, I don't think are going to protect you against this new crop of variants," she said. The number of severe infections and deaths remains relatively low, despite the high level of infections, she said, thanks to vaccinations – and probably – previous infections. But the lack of universal masking means that even people like her, who do wear masks, are vulnerable. The Its growth is probably due to XBB.1.5's characteristics– itappears to bind even more tightly to receptors in the human body than its predecessors –as well as human behavior, such as traveling and not masking. It's a good idea to do what you can to avoid getting infected, saidDr. Ziyad Al-Aly, chief of research and development at the VA St. Louis Health Care System and a clinical epidemiologist at Washington University in St. Louis. It's still early and there are a lot of unknowns about XBB.1.5, he said. Every infection makes someone vulnerable to a badcourse of the disease and tothe lingering, "Reinfection buys you additional risk," he sai...
