New weekly COVID-19 hospitalizations increased more than 20% in early August, according to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The week ending in Aug. 12 saw more than 12,600 new coronavirus hospital admissions – a jump of nearly 22% of the previous week.
While hospitalizations are not close to previous peaks during other COVID-19 surges, it’s still the first wave since winter. Experts say the summer increase isn’t a surprise but that it should be a wake-up call to treat the virus seriously before winter rolls around.
The vast majority of U.S. counties are documenting a “low” level of new COVID-19 hospital admissions. Less than 3% of counties are seeing a “medium” level, according to CDC data. None are experiencing a “high” level of admissions.
The CDC no longer tracks COVID-19 infections, but researchers say the spread is likely significant given the increase in hospitalizations. Deaths, which tend to lag behind hospitalizations, have not yet shown a similar increase.
EG.5, or “eris,” is the most prominent coronavirus strain circulating in the U.S. It’s responsible for more than 20% of new infections in recent weeks, according to CDC data.
Another new strain – BA.2.86 – prompted quick reactions from the CDC and the World Health Organization last week. The strain, which has over 30 mutations, is not common enough to make it onto CDC’s variant tracker, but it has been found in very small numbers in the U.S., the U.K., Denmark and Israel.
A CDC spokeswoman told U.S. News in a statement that “scientists are working now to understand more about the newly identified lineage and we will share more information as it becomes available.”
。    KINSHASA, Congo -- At least 28 people drowned after a boat capsized in the Congo River in Equateur province, local authorities said Sunday. The boat was traveling from Ngondo, an area approximately 74 miles (120 kilometers) from the province's capital, Mbandaka. and crashed Saturday night in Bolomba village, Didon Ifete, the administrator for the territory, said on state radio. Some 200 passengers were rescued and an unknown number of others were missing, he said. This is the second boat wreck on the Congo River in Equateur province within a week. On October 14, another boat capsized, killing at least 47 people and leaving more than 70 missing.In January, at least 145 passengers went missing after a motorized boat overloaded with goods and animals sank on the river in northwestern Congo.Boating mishaps are common on the Congo River and on the nation’s lakes because of the prevalent use of makeshift boats that are often overloaded. The majority of the population in the country’s northwest use the rivers to travel because of a lack of sound roads and because it is a less expensive.The Congolese government banned nighttime river travel throughout the country to prevent accidents, although many defy the directive.。
