angels – A new study has revealed disturbing news about the Delta that has not yet been vaccinated against Coronavirus. It’s because the average number of new coronavirus infections in the United States is over 150,000 per day, up 21% in the past 14 days.
COVID patients are sweeping hospitals from coast to coast, causing a sudden surge in summer. The delta variant – which is more contagious than the original ‘alpha variant’ that is spreading worldwide – more than doubles the risk of hospitalization for unvaccinated, According to a British study Gepubliceerd in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.
Researchers studied more than 40,000 cases of Covid-19 between March and May — when the Delta variant launched in Britain — to compare hospital admissions. The results are very similar to preliminary data from a Scottish study that indicated that the delta variant led to more hospital admissions.
“The results indicate that patients with the delta variant had more than double the risk of hospitalization compared to patients with the alpha variant,” According to a British study. “Emergency room participation associated with hospitalization was also higher for patients with the delta variant, indicating increased use of emergency care in addition to hospitalization.”

Meanwhile, ambulances are being sent out in emergency rooms like the one in Atlanta.
In seven states, more than 90% of intensive care beds are full, according to federal data. Alabama has run out of beds in intensive care units, leading to a massive vaccination rush.
Nationally, the number of deaths from COVID has increased by 355% since the beginning of July. Louisiana recorded a record 139 deaths in one day on Aug. 24, according to the Centers for Disease Control. In South Carolina, a funeral home manager said they haven’t seen that many deaths from COVID.
Director Robert Burning told CBS Florence, South Carolina WBTW-TV.
But there are survival stories. Jacob Larson, one of Colorado’s first COVID patients, is back to sing of the doctors who saved him.
“The biggest ‘thank you’ anyone can give to a healthcare provider is to go get the COVID vaccine,” said Dr Ayman Raouf, who treated Larson.
Larson, who spent 20 days in the hospital, received his vaccine.
Meanwhile, nearly 60% of those eligible in Los Angeles County have so far been vaccinated — still less than the 70% that experts say is necessary for herd immunity.
