With stripped back mandates and theInversion of vaccine requirements, many of us dreamed of aSummer without confession"Ou at least, also without virus that we can get in the United States, even the Covid Councilor of the White House, evenAnthony Fauci, MD, deepened the idea that the country regularly moves from the worst of its pandemic phase. But with reassembled cases, new emerging omicron subvinations and decreasing viral immunity, this promise of progress seems to be increasingly uncertain over the days.

Currently, infections coche in the United States have increased by around 50% and hospitalizations are also increasing, according to the coordinator of the White House Covid-19Ashish Jha, MD. The infectious disease expert said the increase isbe driven By subvariants omicron, and that the northeast states are currently seeing some of the highest increases at the moment.

After the cases started to increase around March 20, they now have three to four times in states like New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. But JHA also explained that virus experts see an interesting trend emerging from these states. Throughout the pandemic, officials have always seen the deaths start to climb in an area three weeks after the infections started to increase. In this spirit, it was expected that the northeast states would see the death rates increase around April 10, but that did not happen, according to the virus expert.

"Deaths are a little on the rise, but about six weeks after the increase in cases, not what you expected," said Jha in a series of tweets on May 8, noting that even if hospitalization is also in Increase in these states, they are not as high as expected after increasing infections.

So why do cases increase without a significant peak in hospitalizations and deaths? According to JHA, there are three main factors: boosters, treatments and tests. "In the northeast, we see a real separation between cases and deaths ... These states are doing more tests, [and] have higher recall rates than many other places," he said.

But although this is good news for the northeast states that now see high infection rates, this may indicate problems for other areas. "Unfortunately, other parts of our nation have lower recall rates and less test .2.12.1 spreads to other less boosted places," said JHA.

According to the centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 46%All eligible adults For a booster in the United States, they obtained their additional shot. But the rate varies considerably from one state to another, those of the South having some of the lowest recall rates of the whole country. In fact, the five states haveincreased the least Completely vaccinated individuals are all southern states, according to examination from Becker hospital.

This includes Georgia at only 37.7%, Oklahoma at 37.6%, Mississippi at 37.4%, Alabama at 35.7%and North Carolina at 26.6%. To compare, 60.5% of fully vaccinated residents of Vermont - the state with the highest recall rate - received an additional shot. These low booster rates could associate with other factors concerning the South to create a summer covid increase in these states, in particular given the similar peaks in the last two summers.

"For any reason, we see seasonality in these peaks. We see a very high case rate in the southDuring the summer months, maybe because so many people are inside because it is so hot there, "Mercedes Carnethon, PhD, epidemiologist at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, saidThe Washington Post.

To avoid this spell, most virus experts have only one recommendation for vaccinated people: "If you have been vaccinated and you areeligible for a booster, make sure to get it, "said Fauci during an interview with May 2 withForeign police. "Now."
