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.

Does anyone really give a sh#t at this point other than the cowardly, low IQ morons who are still running around masked?
Here we F-ing go again!
Before retiring, I worked in Healthcare and was forced to wear one for 8 hours straight. Never again.
‘It will not work this time.’
yes it will; people have gotten abysmally stupid about this topic...
“yes it will; people have gotten abysmally stupid about this topic...”
Because fear-mongering works with really stupid people. And alas, America has many, many really stupid people. That vote.
RE: Best to do mail in ballots and drop boxes again.
Unfortunately, this has already become the norm with or without the Pandemic ☹️😞
Local media already reporting an ‘uptick’ in cases...people really are gullible.
Whatever
Am I the only person who wonders why we are using PCR tests for CoVID, instead of testing for the 'spike' in our blood?
Gotta try to keep the fear porn going.......

" Arcturus was first identified in March of this year."
I hear Remdesivir is the one all cure for this thing called Covid. So says FR’s “fact checkers”.
(Run death is near) Remdesivir
” Arcturus was first identified in March of this year.”
~~~~~~~
Correction:
” Arcturus was first let loose by the CDC in March of this year.”
Gotta continue to justify all the plandemic elections protocols to fulfill their 2024 aspirations.
(I wish that was sarcasm)
Has it infected anyone not jabbed? I know a couple that is stupidly all vaxed up, and were out all week with “covid”. Third time for them, I think.
Meanwhile, unvaxed me has never had it.
Me, too.
