COVID hospital admissions during the week ending Saturday, July 29, increased 12.5 percent over the previous week, according to CDC data.
In addition, visits to the emergency room were up more than 21.8 percent, and the positive test percentage increased 1.3 percent.
One of the causes of the trend could be excessive heat, which is sending people indoors into air-conditioned settings.
The US has seen increases in COVID each of the last three summers, and this year's increases in cases and hospitalizations are notably lower than the surge in the summer of 2022 fueled by the BA.5 Omicron subvariant.
A new variant, EG.5, is causing about 17 percent of cases nationwide, with about 16 percent of cases linked to the XBB.1.16 strain known as Arcturus, according to CDC estimates.
Arcturus was first identified in March of this year.
On Wednesday, Aug. 9, the World Health Organization warned that EG.5, a descendent of the Omicron strain and the XBB subvariant. could lead to an increase in infections.
"Due to its growth advantage and immune escape characteristics, EG.5 may cause a rise in case incidence and become dominant in some countries or even globally," the WHO said.
Despite the new uptick, hospitalizations for COVID cases are still at a historic low since the pandemic began in March 2020, a CDC graph shows.

Which secret lab did this one come from?
I don’t get out much, either.
But it’s not due to the COVID
scare, or the climate change
fiasco.
Thru the last COVID B.S., I never
wore a mask. Arrogant, no; defiant,
yes.
It’s creepy to see the ghouls trying to ‘harvest’ more with their “Covid tests’ which then lead to toxic Covid ‘protocols.’ These people are predators.
I had Covid twice (once in 2021, once in 2022). Zero medication of any type. 63 years old at 2nd bout.
Other than a serious fever for 24 hours (both cases)...controlled by aspirin, and a 5-star cough at the conclusion for both (four days)...it wasn’t much to worry about. I will admit that staying hydrated is a big deal.
Is it affecting people who had the jab or without the jab. Thats what i want to know. They wont tell you that.
Mine expires in the fall of 2024 so I’m good for another yr at least.
Could you message me a link?
Oh boy! I was missing some kabuki theater!
Mask Up and Shut Up! Stay Home and fear! We Can Do This!
Blah blah blah freakin blah.
Not again...
India sourcing is legit. It is called Iverjohn. Not cheap howver. I remember paying around 100 US.
Pfizer just got done making their new batches. They need the illness to sell the poison jabs.
Take ivermectin within the first 24 hours.
It works miraculously.
Because it’s readily available over the counter in blue cities?
Take ivermectin within the first 24 hours along with zinc and a teaspoon of sour cream.
It works miraculously.
I do this every time a vac sheder gives me the latest ADE’d varient and my nose starts running like a fire hose .
Within 30 minutes it kicks butt.
( mmm mmm apples /-)
Don’t be fat. You had 4 years notice.(really a lifetime)
Iron Maiden, EXCELLENT!
It’s the mighty CDC’s EG.5!!!!
It’s everywhere, it’s everywhere!!!!
Run for your lives.....RUN!!!!!
Unfortunately, this site was overrun with gullible chumps during the “COVID” “pandemic”. Some may have learned a lesson, but plenty more did not and never will.
Gee. Just in time to really kick up as the official next pandemic around a year from now. Best to do mail in ballots and drop boxes again.
Pure BS for the covid cultist.
I've read they now understand how Ivermectin helps. Ivermectin disrupts the process that causes micro-clots forming in the blood of the infected. COVID is a disease of the blood.
Some of you dont understand mutations.
COVID 19 may have been relatively non fatal before and completely overblown as a threat. That doesn’t mean it will remain that way….doesn’t mean it won’t either. Recall the 1918 flu was new and a result of mutations. Killed 100s of millions of young heathy adults (unlike COVID which basically mostly only killed weak/ill).
Why you should not Fork around with genetic engineering of pathogens and create new organisms. IMO.
